I'm replacing an ancient outdoor switchboard at one of our buildings. The existing one is mounted on an exterior wall of the building. In an effort to reduce down time we're building a separate structure to house the service equipment about twenty feet away from the existing switchboard. I'm planning to have a ground rod at the new service disconnect. I'm wondering though about tying into the existing system. The new service rack will also have a 1200 amp panel that will feed three panels inside the building, the three panels are located well into the building.
Do I need to run a bonding conductor from the outdoor grounding electrodes indoors to each panel? Or is the connection at the service adequate? I didn't know if having the service and panel a short distance away from the building would cause this to fall under the 250.32.
This is a building on a large property under single management if that's relevant.
