Default Breaker Panel....Neutral bus

You can mix grounds and neutrals on a MAIN panel ONLY!

Sub panels they must be seperate!

this directly from a middle group inspector


The poster you were replying to was trying to indicate that you may not
terminate grounds and neutrals under the same screw. To do so would be
specifically prohibited by US National Electrical Code Section
408.41 Grounded Conductor Terminations.
Each grounded conductor shall terminate within the panelboard in an
individual terminal that is not also used for another conductor.
