This question concerns the ground wires (bonding?) I am wiring a new workshop about 200 yds from my house. I plan to have the electric company drop a new line to a new meter for the building. I installed a homeline 200 amp, 30 slot load center and a cutler hammer top feed meter box. I ran 3awg wire for the weatherhead and main/neutral lug(s). My question is where does the #4 bare copper wires hook to? I have one tied into the rebar in the foundation and one hooked to a ground rod.1) In the meter box there is a smaller lug beside the neutral. Is this for a ground?2) In the load center I had to add a ground bar. There are neutral bars on each side of where the breakers go. There is a larger neutral lug on one neutral bar and another beside the incoming neutral lug.I‘m confused as to where these bare copper #4 wires go??? Please help, Thank you
IN MAIN SERVICE PANELS GROUNDS AND NEUTRALS ALL GO TOGETHER. IN CALIFORNIA WE ARE REQUIRED TO GROUND TO YOUR PIECE OF REBAR 1( UFER GROUND)2 (GAS METTER OR GAS PIPE) AND 3 (WATER LINE OR WATER METER)OR SUPLEMENT WITH GROUND ROD. BUT ALL NEUTRALS AND GROUNDS GO ON THE SAME SET OF LUGS AND GROUND BAR. IF YOU ADDED A GROUND BAR THEN INSTALL THE LONG GREEN SCREW IN THE NEUTRAL BUS BAR SO THAT THE BOX IS ALL BONDED
