Scott Vickrey In a residence, if the meter is outside and the main disconnect panel is inside is their a certain distance the wire can run without having a disconnect outside? Code reference please. The NEC doesn't specify a maximum length for the service conductor. It simply tells you to locate the panel as close to the service's point of entry as possible. Be aware that some local jurisdictions do specify a maximum length. See Article 230.70(A)(1) in the 2002 NEC. When sub feeding a panel from the main panelboard you have to pull a 4 wire and seperate the ground and neutral. Where would I find that in 2002 code? Read article 250.24(A)(5)Load-Side Grounding Connections David Hyatt Thanks Scott, I am studing for my masters I will probably be needing you again. Thanks Scott Vickrey David this is an excellent place to learn. I'm sure you know the teacher learns more than the student. This place constantly has me thinking about and digging through the code. It's almost like an on going practice test a little every day with varied subject matter. STEVEN DESCRIBE THE FUNCTIONS OF A RESISTOR ACORDING TO STREAM IN NEED OF HELP FOR A SCHOOL PROJECT
