For a four gang meter base 100 amp each you would use 3/0
copper wire for your service entrance cables. After you mount
your panels you would run #2 copper wire taken from table
250-66 across the top of the panels. You scrape the insulation
off the wire, you do not splice, but make a tap to the #2 wire
using a split bolt connector. Then drop a #6 wire to each panel.
Is this acceptable with the code? As the ground wire is not
broken it remains solid.
2nd question- Can you jump from one panel to another with
a #6 grounding conductor? Is this code compliant? Because,
if someone removes one of the ground wires from one of the
panels you would lose grounding to the other panels.
Please site code article which would apply.
