| May 22, 2021 at 2:37 | comment | added | Stanwood | @NoSparksPlease The two panels (or cabinets) are connected by a few inches of non-metallic grey PVC conduit. While I have not opened the utility seal to look inside I have good reason to assume that the metal cabinet housing the meter is bonded to the service neutral. It would be unsafe to leave it floating. That neutral wire is bonded to the house ground at my service panel. | |

| May 21, 2021 at 5:20 | comment | added | NoSparksPlease | What is NM conduit? Non-metallic conduit? Not a code recognized type. I'm having a difficult time understanding what a "meter panel" is and how if you mean "meter cabinet" how it is grounded if connected by some nonmetallic piping to the service panel. | |
