I'm wiring everything for my basement in the panel. There are plenty of open spots left. When I look at the existing wiring (for the rest of the house), all the grounds go to the block on the left and all the neutrals go to the block on the right?
1. Is this required?
2. Why or why not?
I'd complete a couple runs several months ago and put both the grounds and neutrals on the same block, but under different clamps. Those work fine, but of course, working fine, and "done right" are often 2 different things...
Final question... If the neutral and ground can go on the same block (ie, both on the left side, can they go under the same clamp?
Thanks
Another question. For the GFCI breakers I'm adding (3 of them), do the pigtail neutral wires coming out of the breaker also have to go to the right side of the panel (the "neutral" side), or can they go to the side that has all the ground wires? Thanks
