most of my new home electrical installations i install a meter/breaker combo and run a 4 wire to the main panel. on a current job i was able to run a nearly back to back installation. (nearly meaning the meter was 3' lower than the panel)i installed meter base only and ran a 3wire to the panel. my question is..if i run the grounding electrode conductor from the rod into the meter base and then on into the panel will this constitute a parallel path for the neutral? please cite any code ref's.
thx, ken m
