That’s fine if it’s a GEC (although I would question how it got from the electrode into that service raceway). If it’s an EGC that is parallel with the neutral then it’s not required and not code compliant.
Greetings Wayne,
I believe I answered you in a private message. However, I will elaborate here in that the connection from the GES to the grounded conductor can take place …at the service head, meter or even up to the service equipment disconnection means location.
Ultimately the GEC can make that connection at any point as defined and explained in 250.24(A)(1):
250.24 Grounding Service-Supplied Alternating-Current Systems.
(A) System Grounding Connections. A premises wiring system
supplied by a grounded ac service shall have a grounding electrode
conductor connected to the grounded service conductor,
at each service, in accordance with 250.24(A)(1) through
(A)(5).
(1) General. The grounding electrode conductor connection
shall be made at any accessible point from the load end of the
overhead service conductors, service drop, underground service
conductors, or service lateral to, including the terminal or
bus to which the grounded service conductor is connected at
the service disconnecting means.
So in your case it was done in the meter…if the AHJ permitted it (sometimes they dont even if the NEC says its ok) then it is done.
Thanks Paul great help .
Blaa blaa blaa !
Wake up Wayne!
And how long have you been inspecting ?
The more people fall into this way of thinking…the less they will feel free to ask questions. Not a good precedent to set in order to allow free thinking and education.
Just sayin fella…
Paul ! I ain’t talkin to you, I was screwing with Wayne. And he knows it.
In addition, stick with electricity and not phycology… Your not good at it…OK?
at least I can spell Psychology…LOL
Ahhh inside joke between you and wayne…gotcha…no worries.
Thanks Paul.
I stayed at I stayed at a Holiday Inn once, I heard you got your experience at the crab shack lol or was it just experience with crabs;-) besides the fact we’re not talking about 12 V batteries that you use down there.
