Question for residential electricians

[Guest]

I'm curious about this,I only do commercial work anymore but I know from taking the code test that it states:The service neutral and grounding conductors will be bonded at the service entrance equiptment only,after that they will always be isolated.Something like that maybe not those exact words.My question is where do you bond the ground and the noodle?I'm guessing in the meter can or the disconnect if its a main lug panel.Or maybe in the main panel if its a main breaker panel with no disconnect before it?C'mon you romex rangers I have a bet goin here with another pipe bender and we've decided to let you stoners make the call.Dont ask me why.

at the meter can noodle lug.
some use the main service as a bonding point but the meter can is the correct place to "bond" them (neut,grounding electrode conductor)

i just looked it up '2005 NEC article 250.24 (A) (1)
says u can connect/bond them at any accessable point from the load end of the service drop(meter can lug) up to the terminal or buss at the equipment connected (your main panel)
i still would advise the "meter can lug" but the code seems to give u some latitude on the subject, and other criteria apply to differnt situations.
my interpretation is based on a single service drop to a "house", when u get into meter centers (apartment buildings) and more complex power distribution other grounding/bonding standards are gonna apply!!
BUZZ!
