I’m trying to fully understand how to ground/bond my 400A Service rack trough.
The layout is as follows:
One 600A Meter base fed via a lateral XFMR/utility.
x4 600KCMIL Cu conductors w/ x1 1/0 AWG Cu GEC.
Load side of the meter base the conducters will go through a nipple, to an overhead trough. Dimensions are 6’x8”x8”.
Inside the trough both service phase conductors and the service neutral will individually feed x3 100A main disconnect switches via a 4-hole Polaris tap for each service phase conductor and the service neutral.
Now it’s been brought to my attention that I need to apply code article (2020) NEC 250.80, however I am very confused as to how I would apply this code.
In basic electrical theory (in my mind) I want to bring my EGC’s off each disconnect and bond them to my trough so as to have it bonded/protect load side of an OCPD. But based on 250.80, I am supposed to bond my trough to the service neautral. Can anyone help me better understand this code and how to apply it to my installation.
