Hello all,
     In US homes and I can only speak to US homes the bonding is only=20
done at the main breaker panel. It is not done in the meter box nor in=20
any secondary panels. If there is a separate panel in a detached=20
building then that building needs a separate ground rod or rods=20
depending on soil conditions. These are then bonded to the ground bus in=20
this panel and the ground bus is bonded to the neutral bus. If the=20
panels are in the same building the secondary panels do not have the=20
ground and neutral buses bonded.
Thanks,
rich!
