I will be installing a 320 meter base with double lugs on the outside of a 3500sq.ft. Ranch house. I will be installing a 200 amp main breaker panel via 4/0 SE Cable in the basement under the Meterbase and a 200 amp Disconnect via 4/0 Se cable next to the panel. The disconnect will feed a subpanel closer to the kitchenvia 4/0 ser cable(copper costs).
The house is well water, I do not remember any provisions in the 320 meterbase for bonding to the Grounding electrode conductor, So will a no. 4 awg from the panel and disconnect to 2 ground rods be sufficient according to the 2005 code? Should it be a 1/0 from both or a 1/0 from the gr.rods and no.4 bugged from the panel and dis. to derive my ground electrode system?
Thanks for any thoughts.
