I’m in installing a meter socket and 30 amp fused safety switch where I’m only using one leg of service. I got 3- wire 120/240 service entrance which connect to my meter socket black and red to there designated spot, the meter says to land the neural ground to a 2 hole grounded lug in the meter panel. My safety switch is connected with, chase nipple under my meter. I ran a 8’ ground rod below my Safety switch, (this is all on a pole).

Can I run my 6awg solid ground from ground rod through bottom of Safety switch to a chair lug then run a insulated 6awg to the meter lug where the service entrance grounded neural is?

My equipment is coming into Safety switch 120v black to its spot. Now the Safety switch has a neural bussneutral bus with green screw; do I need to ground that bussbus?

My white to that neutral bussbus and green ground wire also with green screw inserted or a separate ground bussbus is needed, and is there a neutral that comes down from meter to Safety switch or not?

Installing a Meter Socket and safety switchSafety Switch

I’m in installing a meter socket and 30 amp fused safety switch where I’m only using one leg of service. I got 3- wire 120/240 service entrance which connect to my meter socket black and red to there designated spot, the meter says to land the neural ground to a 2 hole grounded lug in the meter panel. My safety switch is connected with, chase nipple under my meter. I ran a 8’ ground rod below my SafteySafety switch, (this is all on a pole) My question #1 is can.

Can I run my 6awg solid ground from ground rod through bottom of SafteySafety switch to a chair lug then run a insulated 6awg to the meter lug where the service entrance grounded neural is. Question 2 my?

My equipment is coming into SafteySafety switch 120v black to its spot now. Now the SafteySafety switch has a neural buss with green screw to install if neededscrew; do I need to ground that buss.?

My white to that neutral buss and green ground wire also with green screw inserted or a separate ground buss is needed, and is there a neutral that comes down from meter to SafteySafety switch or not?
