Bonding of nuetrals and grounds.

Bonding of nuetrals and grounds.

New postby bigdog on Wed Apr 21, 2021 9:39 am

Newer house permitted in 2016 in Palm Beach county. Eaton distribution panel (sub panel). So Eaton has those straps that connect both neutral bars and all of the neutrals are connected to them and it has a separate ground bar for the grounds.........but the neutral bars are also bonded to the panel box via the manufacturer supplied connector. This effectively bonds the the neutrals and grounds in the non service distribution panel (subpanel. Am I wrong about this?

HAAAAAHAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAA. Thanks for the pictures of a REAL subpanel!!
After 25 yrs of doing this I still doubt myself thinking how could a licensed electrician make that mistake and how could the all powerful all knowing building inspector miss that........
I'm gonna have to get some good pictures too
