Using a single bus bar for both the neutral and ground is not good practice and often will not pass inspection. Any breaker box or disconnect should have separate ground and neutral bus bars and only in the main breaker box (first in line after the meter) should the neutral bus bar be bonded to ground.
My Main breaker box only has a single neutral/ground bus bar. My disconnect has separate neutral and ground. Is it ok to run the white neutral and ground on the single bus bar at the Main breaker and then separate the neutral white to the bonded bus bar and the green to the ground of the box?
@g quinn yes - but the panel he was actually working on was well organized. I'm sure many electricians open panels and find messes like that. How you deal with the mess is what differentiates good from others.
Hi, I was wondering if you could look at this diagram and tell me what breakers I would need to get this tub working. I see that I will need a 50 amp for the 240 volt pump, but the diagram also shows a 30 amp for the heater or blower. This is confusing!!!! When I dissemble this tub it original had 6 wires going to the controller. I would appreciate it if you could guide me in the right direction. Thanks Jerry hat-support.loginto.me/images/balboa.jpg
Great video. Clearly explains the 3 and 4 wire differences which was unclear on a lot of other videos. THANKS!

Thanks for the clarification. You rock.

Well done video.
Nice work guys.

BEST VIDEO OUT THERE....
Agreed.
This is a very helpful video. Simple into the point not fancy but very informational.

wow this is a cultural time capsule
