[Shop-talk] Running power to the shop

[Tony Vaccaro]

I believe that is what they did when I put a subpanel in the small shed I
have for my pool pumps. They removed the bonding bar.

That sounds TOTALLY wrong.  I flunked out of EE and am not a licensed
electrician.  But AFAIK, the neutral and ground should be "bonded" at ONE
point and ONE POINT ONLY.  A subpanel should have a separate neutral and
ground wire run to it, and the bonding bar between the the two in the box
should be removed, to create an "isolated ground" whereas a main entrance
panel has the two connected.
