The Dist pane.
I know, in some areas, the ground and neutral, are joined at the breaker panel, is it better to have all grounds, incl the breaker enclosure, grounded to a separate, 8 or so ft groung rod, and not connected to the utility grnd.. I used to install many satellite system, years ago when the rcvr did many functions, and at times, the grounding was a problem for this complicated stuff.. just tying to RE learn some potential problems, and avoid them..
I recently installed, or had installed more correctly, in the City limits of Asheville Nc, a temp svc, and the reqirement there was, three, 8 ft rods, tied togather, and that was the authorized method.. so apparently, separate grounding from the utility grnd is very important, so why join them..?
