Hello all,
All of my work is residential in Philadelphia where it is rare to find multiple buildings on a residential site. I have a job with a garage on the street and the house behind with a courtyard in between. The homeowner wants a separate meters for each. There is a 200 amp service at the garage coming into a dual meter socket. One meter supplies a 60 amp panel for the garage, lights, a few receptacles, and a blower for a gas heater. The other meter has a 150 amp disconnect in the garage feeding a 150 amp main panel in the house. The house panel is grounded back to the disconnect in the garage. It has a main 150 amp breaker and the neutrals and EGC's are on separate buses. That's all good. I have grounding rods connected to the meter socket in the garage, which takes care of the 60 amp panel. Does the 150 amp house panel need its own set of grounding rods? Thanks in advance for the help
