Ok, so this may sound crazy but I am fighting myself on this. I am wiring a new house and am questioning myself on the service. I normally install meter and main panel back to back. But this one I cannot. I will be installing meter on outside of one wall and the panel will be inside (approx. 5 feet away) on adjacent wall. Therfore I will be running SE (or SER)cable between the two. When installed back to back, I always run 3 wires plus ground. I normally run bare ground from ground rods through meter base and continue to main panel. Since I will be using SE cable is this necessary? If I bond at the meter and bond the neutral bar at the panel with bonding screw, do I need to still run ground to it. It would difficult to do this continuousley with one piece. Can I use SE 3 wire and bond at panel with bonding screw or do I need to use SER 4 wire?
Thanks for clearing this up.
