Hi
I was wondering if someone could help me? I live in condo unit. I know a little about electrical things. I was looking in my panel and I could not locate my ground wire. I do have a main shut off my service is 100 amps I have 8 circiuts. Is my panel being used as a subpanel and grounded by the conduit?
I believe this info is wrong. There should be 4 wires coming to the sub panel in a condo from the main. 2 hot, 1 neutral, 1 ground. The ground and neutral bus should be isolated at the sub panel so a ground wire is needed to connect the sub panel grounds to the main panel.
Looking for condo building ground requirements or law. Entire building had power surge destroying appliances, phones, cable, TVs etc. Black smoke on wall from electric sockets! Very serious.
No one can say if building is grounded in ADDITION to individual meters, and individual unit electrical panels.
When I say NO ONE I mean VRFA (fire authirity) AUBURN WA FIRE MARSHAL, WA STATE LNI King County Building Elec Engineer Inspections, Auburn City Government etc.
PSE ENGINEER told me that building needed to be grounded in addition to PSE replacing underground lines (stray voltage).
Anyone know who is responsible after initial inspection (1950’s), after EMERGENCY PSE (power co) work done?
