This is a main panel, two hot wires come in from the back with what looks like a 6 gauge bare copper coming in that connects to the neutral bus. That bare copper wire I thought was the equipment grounding conductor but then where’s the neutral? Is the copper wire the neutral but then we’re is there egc? It appears the bare copper wire is serving as the neutral and there is no egc at the main(I thought there always had to be) But at the meter there is a grounding conductor going to ground rod straight down, after finding 250.24 this seems allowed and you don’t need a egc at the main? Also if you were going to install a new panel do you still bond the neutral bus to the cabinet and would you run a separate egc to ground rod from the ground bus off the main panel? If anyone could help me out on what’s going on here it would greatly be appreciated!
bigger wire dropping straight down from the top is just to the dryer, its a main lug only panel so no main disconnect
On a duplex there’s two bigger wires entering weatherhead and two smaller wires, not sure why there is 2 smaller wires coming off the neutral.
