Why is this parallel path only a problem on the load side of the service disconnect??? There are often multiple parallel paths on the line side. What makes it safe on the line side, and under the same conditions, unsafe on the load side?
I have been told by a couple of different electricians that began their careers in Europe that the neutral is never bonded at the customer service unit / Service Disconnecting Means. I don't know if I understood them correctly; one spoke French as his first language and I speak only English; and I never got to ask if there is a bonding, grounding, earthing conductor run with the service conductors. Does any one here have accurate intelligence on that issue.
