bc said: (quoted from post at 00:12:39 02/14/10) Sounds like everyone has it figured out. NEC doesn't apply to power companies. The utilities all do it different. Around here they bond the meter box (which belongs to the power company even though you pay for it) and your service entrance to the same ground rod(s) if they are within 10' of each other.
Problem is all the different types of power distribution systems in the country and how they ground them. John or Buick (assuming they have and want to take the time to hold class) can teach us a few things about corner grounded deltas, wyes, phases, and all that other power company rigamarole which also affects the type and taps on transformers. I personally haven't studied it much except to know there are different ones. The last time I did look at it, one of my eyes became a delta and the other became a wye, they crossed, and short circuited my brain.
Yes, & I bet John T (the lawyer I believe) can 'splain why the power company (TXU) doesn't want that ground wire to terminate in 'their' sealed meter base, too. :wink:
