Hey everyone. New to this forum, but I would really appreciate some input from anyone that could help me out.
California resident here. A couple weeks ago. I had a sub-panel installed in my garage. It was done by a highly recommended and licensed local electrician. The garage is attached to the house. Directly on the other side of the wall where the sub-panel is mounted is the main breaker box. The main breaker box is 125 amp main breaker and there is a 50 amp breaker going to the sub-panel.
My question is do any of you see anything wrong with the sub-panel that requires attention. Mainly the bus bar. I have been looking online at forums and pictures and have been getting mixed opinions. Some people say in my situation its ok for the ground and neutral to be on the same bus bar, and others say its not ok and I am looking for a definitive answer. I have included some pictures of the sub-panel and how it is mounted. The electrician installed two 20 amp 110 outlets, but wanted to much money to install the other outlets I wanted so I went down to homedepot and purchased the wire breakers and other things I needed to do it myself. I plan on installing an aditional 20 amp 110 outlet and two 20 amp 240 volt outlets. I wanted to know if there is anything on the sub-panel that requires attention before I do install these additional outlets though.
