Hey all, had a project given to me needs some background - here's the "skinny".
Major remodel of an older home in a semi-rural area of NorCal, original plan was to land util power at the house on an Eaton HP404040SHA panel. THEN, POCO went through and hardened the distribution, and said that they did not want to do such a long drop from the road.
New Eaton panel (similar model) was placed at roadside and 4" conduits installed to house, and stubs to future shop (both 200A). Inbound conduit and rough-in has already been set in place at the house. Problem is this panel has a thoroughly bonded neutral bus; actually mounted to back of case, so the bonding is in violation now.
Is there any way, or maybe a kit to float the neutral bus in this panel so the EGS can be kept unbonded until the service entrance at the road? Changing out this panel would be a pretty good expense and hassle!
