The problem is we exist (USA & many countries) in a TN−C−S earthing system.
If it's wye (poco) wye (consumer) , any M.E.N. is transmitting the unbalanced.
Fact is, the closer you get to a substation, the more your GEC's are simple a noodle
The normal mindset being 'if it doesn't move ground it' can work, as long as it's all 'bird on a wire' equopotential (sp?, you know what I mean...)
So go ahead, bond the living daylights out of it all, I have in similar past circumstances & walked away the hero w/$$$ in hand
The truth is, I've simply aided and abetted the perp
