Hi guys, new to the forum as of tonight. So far I like all the conversation. Here's my question
I am wiring a house and I'm second guessing myself on the ground/neutral bonding, and which panel to do it in.
I have attached a picture, and off the meter it goes into a panel with 125 AMP disconnect. The feeder wire is 4/0 aluminum. From that, it has feed-thru lugs, which I'll attach 4/0 aluminum underground (NOT SER as pictured) in schedule 40 PVC to a 200 amp disconnect outside off the house. From here I'll use 4/0 SER to a main panel with no disconnect.
Questions:
I should swap out 125 amp disconnect at meter to a 200 amp.
Is that considered my "first point of disconnect" for purposes of tying neutral and ground together and going to two ground rods, or is it the disconnect at the house?
Main panel inside needs the grounds and neutrals separated? Including all branch circuits EGC and neutrals being landed on separate bars?
Thanks for the help. I read a bunch of discussions on this, just wasn't sure of a few things.
