  • Let’s Ask Paul Podcast | Episode 203 | Green Constructor Between Meter and Service?

    Let’s Ask Paul Podcast | Episode 203 | Green Constructor Between Meter and Service?
    Feb 19 2025
    In this episode, Paul was asked to comment on an installation that inspectors are forcing the installation of a green bonding conductor between the meter enclosure and the service equipment. Since a neutral is already connected at each end of this installer, as permitted in 250.142 and as required by 250.24, the question being raised is about the parallel paths for return current and the pesky objectionable current argument.

    Well, on this episode I dig into both and give my opinion.
