Service conductors (4/0) enter an outdoor trough from the weatherhead. They are then tapped with #2 conductors to each of 2 - 100a meter cans and then terminate in a 100a main-breaker panel under each meter. The neutral lugs are bonded in the meter cans and the panels have main bonding screws. Steel nipples with threaded hubs are installed on top of each meter can and panel. The nipples enter the bottom of the trough and are provided with bonding locknuts. This appears to me as the entire installation is bonded together. My inspector disagrees. He says I still need a main bonding jumper from my trough enclosure to my neutral connection inside the trough. I assumed my trough was already bonded through the steel nipples using bonding locknuts. His request seems like its double bonding the trough. Please help me understand what Im missing. Thanks!
