I always thought the neutral should never be bonded at a sub-panel.  However, after reading the following posts:

I'm not even sure I know anymore what a sub-panel is or if such a thing even exists. Some of the pertinent NEC code is posted at the above link.

Wow, I hope we never sound like that here argue. It only took two or three pages for that poor guy to get a strait answer. I'm going to pick a friends brain as to what is code, here and now, and if the county follows national codes or are there variances from state to state, county to county, etc. He has been in the business for over 30 years, his dad's contractor licensee has only Three digits!

I'll then ask a customers kid who just made journeyman a year ago, and has his own business now, and should be up to speed with what's new. It should be interesting to see if they're on the same page.hmmmreadinhmmm

I felt like making popcorn. Wow!  puncharguepunch

Kinda reminiscent of Tommy and I awhile back. roflmao

I haven't purchased any wire or conduit yet, but getting close.

There technically is no such thing as a "sub panel", as that name does not exist in the 2011 NEC. What I have is an "Equipment Service Disconnect".

I'll be posting some pics on another thread soon. My wife's car was rear ended, and totaled, and we bought it back. I repaired the deck lid. Now does everyone here know that means 'trunk"? hmmm I think if you asked any non-electrician what a sub panel was, most would know what you're talking about. An Equipment service disconnect? Not so much.roflmao

I have discussed with my electrician friend putting in a service for the greenhouse and a hot tub, but the main panel is full. He suggested installing a "break-out box' on the outside wall opposite the main. Why do I get the feeling the fella on the electricians blog would have a problem with that description? punchargueyell   roflmaoroflmaoroflmao

Geez! Hope the wife is okay.

Okay, I said "technically" because NEC 2011 doesn't list it as such. However, the term does exist in the practical world so I'll refer to it as a lay term. So far I have not run into anyone that didn't know what I was talking about, professionals included.

 

Well, the shop is beginning to fill up. A few more shelves, another gantry crane, and then comes the dozer.

Wow!(I wish they had one of those green with envy smiley faces to paste) I'll be over in a little while to start my subframe . How will we start without an Equipment Service Disconnect?
