Question from Electrical Inspection content

@msimmons16

Can someone please explain the following question (questions an inspector should ask themselves during the inspection) included in the Subpanel information from the Residential Electrical Inspection course?

Is the neutral bus isolated from the panel enclosure

What did this course teach you about this scenario? Was it unclear? If so, what are you unclear about? That can help us drill down on answering your question.

There are some subpanels that this doesn’t apply to, such as:

If there is an old 3-wire feeder you must bond the neutral just like in a service and connect the GEC from your grounding electrodes to the neutral.
