Ground & Neutral On Same Bar In Main/Sub Panel, Breaker Box

You can connect ground and neutral wires on the same bar in the main panel but not in the sub-panel. The main panel needs a neutral for the current to flow through the circuit and a ground wire to

Neutrals & Grounds On Same Bar in SubPanels

The white wires (neutrals) are on the right bar, while the bare copper wires (grounds) are connected on the left bar. At the top of the panel, the two bars are joined together by a single bar, the subpanel
