you have to excuse me I am out in the field right now and don't have a code book handy however I know the code book pretty well. I think...lol
I have an old apartment building that has underground sub feeders from the main distribution to each apartment. there are no grounds taken to the apartment subpanels. there is however there is a #6 water GEC taken from the water meter in the unit to the panel. how do I treat these panels?
I know that if it was a detached structure that I would drive a ground and treat it as a service and connect the GEC and neutrals altogether in the panel. but this is not a separate structure. One thought is to have all the grounds and neutrals separated and take the water bond GEC to the ground bar.
