Why are grounds and neutrals separated in a sub panel? In a subpanel, grounds and neutrals are separated for safety reasons and to comply with electrical codes. Here’s why: 1. **Preventing Parallel Paths for Current:** When grounds and neutrals are bonded (connected together) in the main service panel, all neutral current returns to the main panel through a single path, the neutral wire. However, if you bond them in a subpanel, it creates multiple paths for the return current, including the grou

These small details can make a big difference
