Heres the scenario. A 600 amp service feeding 3 service disconnects mounted below the ct can. 2 have 200 amp breakers with 4/0 al feeders and 1 has 225 amp breaker with 250 mcm feeders.
These go out to a line of quad out let boxes with feed thru lugs. The setup is 4 quads on one,four quads on 2 and 5 quads on 3. The egc I have chosen is #2al use. Is it permissible to bond all the cans together and run 1 egc out to the loads or do I need an individual egc for each panel? All the feeders are use and will be buried with no conduit at 24 inches.

If the feeders are cables, each cable will have to have an EGC. If the feeders are individual conductors, a single EGC in the ditch with the conductors is permitted.
