Ground bar/s in sub panel

[n2ocamaro]

Any problems having 2 ground bars (one on each side of the box). I would like to run the wires as neatly as possible. If its ok, should I run a copper bridge wire to connect the 2 or is the box a good enough conductor (they would both be screwed right to the box). I can't seem to find any examples so I wanted to make sure I wasn't overlooking a problem.

Just screw them down on both sides of the box. No jumper needed. I most always use 2 when converting a main panel to a sub panel, as the original grounds usually won't all reach one bar. No connection to the neutral in a sub panel (don't forget).

Be sure to remove the paint underneath the bar. Drill and tap the connection or through bolt. Sheet metal screws are prohibited.

Yep, I read about that earlier this week.

Thanks for the reminder on the paint. I am going to use the screws that came with the bars and drill/tap.

Go get the bar kit from the manufacturer - fits pre-drilled/tapped holes, screws included, no drilling and tapping needed.
