I just moved into a home built in 1983, I want to add a pony panel at the back of the house. I'm a high voltage lineman so don't work in electrical panels very often, I would like an electricians comments.
The panel is a Sylvania BC 24125, the white neutral comes in the top of the panel with the bus going to the bottom of the panel to a connection plate. An insulated ground is then tied to the neutral with a connector, going back out the top of the panel to the water line as a ground.
Nowhere can I find the neutral and ground being tied together in the panel. Am I missing something, this looks weird as I know this should be tied together in the panel. The neutral bus at the bottom has a plate where the wires from the house come together and looks like it is isolated from the panel, could this have a wire connected to the panel that I can't see?
