    I separated your question from a thread started in 2006 that was unrelated to your question.

    Your question is too vague to be specific, other than any equipment ground needs to connect to the green terminal.

    If you can be more specific and describe your situation and where this equipment ground is located, we can provide a better answer.

    So, after I move and answer your first question I find you asked a separate question with more detail.

    The equipment ground conductor of a feeder to a panel needs to connect to an equipment ground bar that needs to be bolted directly to the metal of the panel box using machine thread screws.

    This equipment ground bar usually is an accessory that needs to be purchased, as often does not come with a new panel.

    The neutral conductor needs to connect to the neutral bar, which is insulated from the panel box, and you should not connect to the box with the Main Bonding Jumper, sometimes a long green screw, sometimes a jumper strap.
