I question your statement about a ground bonded natural bar in the sub panel at time stamp 7:33, with a cut or broken neutral. If the neutral bar in the sub panel is bonded to ground, the current will travel through the grounding system back to the main panel and continue through to the main neutral at the main panel, since the main panel is the first panel, were the neutral bar is tied to the grounding system. There would not be any 120 volt potential through the grounding system, the current will travel through to the neutral..
Okay let's say you're using armoured cable with a gland from the main panel that is bonded by the outer sheath wire now when you gland the subpanel you would also earth it. So you just eliminate the outer wire on one of the glands?
Thanks for watching the video and thanks for your question. It sounds like you’re referring to using a cable gland with armored cable for grounding. In the US, we typically rely on a dedicated ground wire in addition to the armored cable sheath to ensure proper grounding as per the national electric code, NEC. Eliminating the ground wire on one end might violate code and safety issues, like ground loops or poor bonding. Local codes can vary so it’s best to follow the standards for your region to ensure safety and compliance. I’m not familiar enough with non-US electrical wiring to be able to answer your question anymore precisely. Thanks again.
This is a really good video! I am very knowledgeable on this stuff and I still found it to educational.
I’m so glad you found the video helpful. I really appreciate you watching and for the comment.
Very informative, thanks for sharing sir!

I like the topic explanation but what i don't like is the video where the grounded conductor is terminated @ the center when it enters the main panel
Thanks for commenting. Can you explain a bit more. I’m not completely following what you’re saying. Thanks.
