Ground wire can be appropriately bonded to the neutral and cabinet at the service box by connecting the neutral and ground wires from the feeder wires to the neutral bus bar and the ground terminal located on the same cabinet at the service box. White wire (neutral) must be connected to bus bar and bare wire must be connected to ground terminal in the same cabinet.

Where are neutral and ground wires usually bonded together?

Neutral and ground wires are usually bonded together at the main service panel of a building, but should never be bonded together at any subpanel or other point downstream. This connection is made to provide a safe path for stray electrical current in case of a fault, and to ensure proper grounding and equipment safety.


What does SN stand for in an old style fuse panel it is referring to the neutral bars?

The term SN refers to a panel or disconnect switch that has solid neutral bar installed. It is a small bar that allows the service conductors to be bonded to the enclosure at that point.


Are the neutral and ground bonded in a sub-panel of an out building?

No, in a sub-panel of an outbuilding, the neutral and ground should be kept separate and not bonded together. This is to prevent the potential for ground loops and to ensure proper functioning of the grounding system.


Is the neutral wire consider a hot wire?

Neutral is neither Hot nor ground. Neutral is the return wire for electrical service. It is a requirement , by law, that the Neutral Wire Feed into an electrical service box (main panel) be BONDED to the box and the Earth ground. Thie effectively makes the neutral in circuits out of the service panel equal to ground. But as it enters the service panel from the utility and meter pan, it is not ground. <<>> The only time that the neutral can have voltage on it is if it gets disconnected from the distribution point. Then the voltage that is supplied to the load will continue through the load and stop at the disconnection point. If you touch the uninsulated part of the neutral wire and touch any grounded equipment at the same time your body will act as a conductor for the load circuit. You will receive a nasty shock. This scenario is the only time that the neutral is "hot".


How can you tell if a neutral bar is bonded or not to the panel?

To determine if a neutral bar is bonded to the panel, you can check for a bonding strap or screw connecting the bar to the panel enclosure. If there is no physical connection, it is likely not bonded. Additionally, you can use a multimeter to check for continuity between the neutral bar and the panel enclosure.
