I just bought this house built in 1985. It"s in a residential area, with electric service being underground. My meter pedestal is in the back yard - 75 feet beyond the house. A main breaker is mounted there, and a ground wire runs to a driven ground rod.
Inside the house, the service panel has no main breaker, just the circuit breakers. The neutral buss is not bonded to the metal frame of the service entrance. neither is the ground buss. The ground buss and the neutral buss are not jumpered together. There is no voltage potential between the two busses. Infinite resistance from the ground and neutral to the box.
a) Should each buss be bonded to the box? b) Should the busses be jumpered together, or does the box serve that purpose? c) The house is plumbed with copper, but the underground supply line is plastic to the shutoff valve a foot up off the ground (this is south Texas). Should the plumbing lines be explicitly bonded to the electrical ground?
