Here?s my scenario, we are wiring a 12,000 square foot home in Laguna Beach, CA that over hangs the cliff onto the beach we have a 400a 3ph meter / main breaker disconnect switch located at the street. At the street where the main switch is, we have provided a concrete encasement electrode and connected it to the neutral bus, bonding the enclosure etc. In the main house approx. 120ft away we have a 400a main distribution board (w/a main) where we have again a concrete encasement electrode and a cold water electrode conductor with in 5ft. from it entering the house. We are going to pull a full size grounded conductor from the main at the street to the main in the house, I think being that we have no coldwater at the street to bond to the neutral must establish in the main electrode system at the house and not at the street. Am I correct?
The inspector showed up and told the supper on the job that we can not have two (ufer grounds) concrete encasement electrode and that we need to isolate the neutral at in the house, does this make since?
Please advisee
Thanks.
