Subject - sub panel instalation
tonytude im adding a subpanel (100 amp) from a new service (200 amp)

Do i need a bond from panel to panel?

Do i need to seperate the neutral and equipment ground on the sub-panel?

I am also useing the old panel(60 amps) in the house as a sub-panel.
It only has a 3 wire system 2 hots and a neutral.Do i need to change the old panel too?And add a equipment ground.Then seperate the grounds from the neutrals?I hope not.
tonytude nevermind.......i bonded the sub-panels to the main sevice and seperated the equipment and neutrals in both sub-panels.......guess it was a dumb question.
zapped208 tonytude,- Is this new 100A sub panel in the same building?, Or a detached building?
tonytude same building....i added a new service (200 amps)and a new sub-panel 100 amps in the garage
David Hyatt Probably could have gotten by with installing a 4 wire to the 100amp in garage and leaving the 60 amp alone. Pending on the AHJ in your area. I guess you had mains feeding both panels from main panel.
