    Gnd @ Main Panel
    Ok.. I posted on this before but I can't find it on the board. I want to know about installing my ground at my svc panel. I am running out of this to a small shop to a 100amp sub. I understand about the gnd and neutrals being separated and such at the sub etc.

    What I am wondering is this: As you can see from the pic of my main FEED through panel, on the lower right hand side I have a small 2 wire buss w/ green (to house) and bare (to gnd electrode). Is this where my equipment ground out to the shop will be connected off my feeder? Or will it go on the neutral/gnd buss on the right in the pic. I bought another ground buss that will hold more wires THINKING that I will need to pull the 2 wire buss, and install this larger one in its place. And then connect the green and bare wire to it along with my feeder equipment gnd out to my shop.

    Am I correct on this or am I way off in left field??

    I thought we had this sorted out by the last page.
    Is it still not clear?
