Service goes into the main disc then a ct cabinet then a spliter. From spliter 2 teck cables go to 2 fusable switches and each fusable swith with its own panel. The question is : the teck cable into the spliter has a ground wire in it, should the ground wire be grounded with compression clams or u bolt to the main ground so that it creates a true ground for the switched as well or is it enough to just bond the grounds to the spliter can with a ground lug.

What is a teck cable?

What is the splitter? Is it a distribution block? A pedestal lug?

CEC in BC , teck is like BX armoured cable with a ruber sheeting in top and one unfer the armour. Used in canada for underground, service, etc. A splitter is a gutter w block terminals in it wher let's say the main 400MCM comes in and you have 5 panels coming out of it using 2/0 (just an exampl)

Anyway, some ppl seem to think its a ground wire but I believe its a bond and it just needs to be bonded to the spliter
