What is NEC Code For This Grounding Scheme ?
In article .com, John Ross wrote:
I had talked to an electrician on the phone and he said something like
"oh, those old panels just had a neutral bar and they put the grounds
on there too. That is not good, especially for eletronic devices to be
protected." He then went on to say he would install a ground busbar in
panel.
It certainly does no harm, except to your wallet, for him to install a ground
busbar in the service panel -- but it does no good either: since Code requires
ground and neutral to be bonded together in the service panel, electrically
they're all one bar anyway.
