For A 600 a service I landed my 4/0 Al. GEC from the water meter in the CT cabinet which is allowed by NEC and my Utility company. The crazy part is the inspector agrees its okay to do that but you can't bond the service panel (green screw) or the metallic raceway with grounding bushings ( #4 copper) to the neutral/ground bar. I think he is confused and wants to treat the CT cabinet (metering only) as if it is a disconnect. Because He kept saying you are creating a parallel path if you bond met.raceway and panel at main service panel after landing GEC in the meter cabinet. Does landing the GEC in meter cabinet make the main service panels sub-panels that should be treated as such? I say no way what say you??? By the way I called the state of Michigan and they told me this city inspector is way wrong. Can you add????
