Hey Gang,
I just ran across this awesome site today and I had an electrical question. I bought an older home last year in April, built in 1956. I paid about $2,200 around November of last year to have my electric service upgraded. I had a 200 amp Siemens box put in. I've been adding some outlets, all being dedicated lines, (one for our new LCD TV in the bedroom) and another in the kitchen for the overhead microwave I just bought. I found it interesting that the neutral and grounds were all installed on the same rods (are these called bus bars?) I basically followed the same paths while in the box when I added my new lines and breakers. Is this correct? Thank you for your time. I failed to mention that I tested the outlets before using them and everything shows that it's wired correctly. I just pictured one bar for neutral and another for ground.
