This problem is in a 60 unit building for older folks on fixed income in an HOA.
Lets break it into 3 unit intervals units are essentially stacked.
Building has several 400amps services with main disconnects having a neutral and ground connected together in disconnect.
Each disconnect feeds about 15 units the wires are tapped in a wireway then they feed individual utility meters then a 70amp fused disconnect.
From the fused disconnect is where the problem begins. From the fused disconnect 3 wires no ground feed each units 70 amp federal panel.
Being as the units are stacked in order to save building damage when replacing panels from federal pacific can I run 1 larger conductor up 3 floors then tap it like the picture shown but of course minus the transformers.
