[QUOTE="Rob Spence, post: 22699, member: 80"] Re: odd electrical situation If there is a meter bank (meaning a bunch of meters in an array in a box, then perhaps the bonding is done there instead of at each panel and the "ground" is going to the water pipe or ground rod through some pipe so it isnt obvious? Grounds are often green these days and not bare. For a single meter single phase service there would only be 3 wires to the meter box. If the service panel (breaker box) isn't the place of bonding the ground & neutral, then there should be multiple bus strips in the box. One or more for the neutrals and one or more for the grounds. You may want the landlord to have the electric company open up the meter box to inspect things. [/QUOTE]
