Yes, that's fine. On a sub panel you don't want the neutral buss to
be bonded to the enclosure.


Thanks, I understand the part about the neutral buss being kept
separate from the ground buss in subpanels. And obviously the
subpanel chassis needs to be tied to the equipment ground. I was just
surprised to the subpanel chassis as part of the fault current path
for all the circuits served by the subpanel. That's fine?

Thanks, Wayne
