Interesting question, as one would ask why, but I'm sure it's okay, especially if the EGCs follow the same pathway as their respective circuit conductors.I'm in a situation where I'd like to pass circuits form one panel to another. Can I do this without landing the grounds in the first panel?
The situation is this:
400 amp service. Two service entrance runs land in two separate panels, side by side in the house. We are installing a backup battery system within one of those runs which will require installing a 200amp disconnect at the meter.
So.....this leaves two panels, one with a ground to neutral bond at the panel in the house, the other will have that bond at the new 200 amp disco.
We will then be moving circuits between panels. I figured landing grounds and neutrals in there respective panels from where they are fed was a good idea.
Thanks

Assuming that the existing service disconnect are inside, by moving the service disconnect for one panel outside you're two service disconnects will no longer be grouped in one location. You'll need to move the other one outside as well.
Good catch indeed! Can you point me toward a code reference for grouped discos? Thanks!
