Ground / Neutral Bar Question
Hi All,
I just had a Square D QO box / breakers installed. I see that the electrician connected some neutral wires to the ground bar and some ground wires to the neutral bar. Is this normal?

Ground / Neutral Bar Question
This is a main panel. There is no neutral and ground bars. They both serve both functions.
If one were added to the panel then that would only be for grounds.

Ground / Neutral Bar Question
He dipped all 3 feeds into his noalox bottle. If you zoom in, you can see a dark gray substance
I made sure he used it.
