Default Re: More Double Tap Fun.....

Well, maybe only partial credit cause I realized I only gave the practical explanation without a code reference. But then again I have always been a fan of more practical explanations (particularly on this board) instead of just quoting straight code ...

I am absolutely amazed sometimes by how much thought goes into doing things wrong ...

I agree, it makes a lot more sense to talk about the real problem and not just the code language. In a practical sense, when you connect a neutral to the ground bus you have the possibility of energizing the whole grounding system with a bonding jumper failure. In this case that could just be a loose screw where the bus attaches to the can.
I really like to see a 4 ga looped through all of the busses but that is not in the code.

In addition to 250.6.A, maybe throw in 110.3.B just for good measure ("code wise") since it's noted on the panel label ...
