| Sep 29, 2023 at 4:00 | comment | added | popham | Your question title should clarify whether this is a main panel (directly fed by a meter) or a subpanel (directly fed by a main panel somewhere else). You say that it comes directly from a power pole, so maybe it's a main panel. Is the line on that power pole coming from the power company or from a main panel on your property? The ground and neutral buses in a main panel should be bonded like they appear to be, so if this is a main panel, then it's okay. | |
