What type of wire should be run from the outside disconnect to the panel box inside the building?
In services where the main disconnect is located outside by the meter, it is required that a wire of the proper size with 4 conductors be run to the panel box instead of a wire with only three wires as in the case when running directly from the meter enclosure to the main breaker inside the panel box. This additional wire is used to continue the ground connection from the outside disconnect into the panel box.
