Suppose I have a setup like this: I take my power at a pole. The utility wants me to fit circuit protection there for a very long run to my house.
By my read of things, this makes it a main panel and therefore this is the primary grounding point. And therefore the panel in the house is a subpanel.
Trying to answer this question, I found a NEC section (Article 310.15(B)(7) not to be confused with the table of the same number) which allows feeder in this case to be sized like service lateral, logical since it's doing the same job.
I would really, really like to have the neutral-ground bond at the house instead of the pole.
In my travels through NEC I could swear I saw a section that liberalizes where the N-G bond is in this case... and I thought might even permit omission of that long ground wire. But I can't find it again.
Can anyone help me find it?
