Hello all,
I have an unattached tool shed/ "shop" with a 240v subpanel. A neighbor helped run this for me and sugggested the 240 in case I ever wanted to run a bigger air compressor or something.
At the present all of the few loads are on one circuit. Just an overhead light and a couple of outlets. I want to run a couple of extra outlets outside and thought I would put them on a second circuit. After opening the subpanel box, I am a little confused. See photos.
There is a black, white and ground coming from the main panel in the house. Black and white are both hot. The ground goes to what looks like to me an isolated bus.
I'm just not sure this is exactly how it should be and hoped the wealth of knowledge here could throw something in.
