If on a 220 single phase circuit the neutral and ground wires attach to the same buss bar in the

The fussier journeymen in our part of the country prefer to use one
bus bar for grounds, the other for neutrals. Of course, the two busses
are bonded together. Other than looking really spiffy, I don't know of
any electrical advantage. Maybe one of our eminent electrical gurus
can shed some light.
