Looking for input on a new residential build on 4 acre lot. The main electrical service comes in underground from the transformer to the front of the property at 1 phase 120/240. Here’s some details:
• The house build will be 160M away from the meter. (far distance)
• 150 Amp panel at the house.
• Planning to run paralleled 350 Kcmil AL conductors. To overcome 3% voltage drop.
Questions:
• I plan to install a splitter box below the meter socket to upgrade wiring to 350 kcmil for the lengthy cable run to the house. Can I ground the splitter box and house panel with separate dedicated ground rods at each end of the cable run to avoid running a bonding conductor between the splice box and the house panel? I don’t want to run an extra cable just to bond the panel and the splitter box together. Another thought, would the splitter box just have to be bonded to the meter socket? Isn’t the meter socket grounded to the system via the service neutral?
• Does 350 Kcmil paralleled seem to be the right size to overcome voltage drop?
Any thoughts are ideas are welcome. Thanks for the help
