Is there a code rule for the length of PVC you can run in to a house if you have a 200 amp disconnect under the meter outside? Isn't it considered a feeder then? I need to run about 6 feet into the house to the 200 amp main panel through a inside wall to get the panel in the utility room. If there Isn't a rule on the length does it matter if the back side of the panel is the bathroom?
 
After the service disconnect you can run as far as you need to inside the house. Remember to run a 4-wire from the outside disconnect and keep the G and N separated at the Sub panel. The ground electrodes will connect to the Service disconnect. Hope this helps!
 
thanks jes I know the code says no panels in bathrooms, does it matter the panel is in the wall between the utility room and the bathroom? I cant find anything in the 2002 codebook. Thankyou for your reply, jacky

A wall between the bathroom and another room is fine. The restriction is for the panel in the bathroom itself. You scenario would have the panel in a different room.

Yo Jacky ... as a Journysoon (is this an 'apprentice'), I would think that your "Journeyman" would/should be asked and answering these for you ... and maybe even "Supervising" you in your Installations ... as you know DYI info isn't allowed here ... I hope you don't take this to harshly, just don't want you to get hurt or hurt someone else ... m
