Sep 25, 2024 · The panel in the picture does show bonding of the neutral and ground; this should be your main panel then. Running a feeder to a sub panel would include four wires, 2 hots, ground and neutral; if using metal conduit the entire run from main to sub the conduit can act as the ground. Then the ground and neutral will be separate in the sub panel.
