Taking a closer look at the illustration leads one to the same myth we hear a lot of ... that the fault current goes to ground. I wonder who they have to write this stuff.

Picture of the panel also shows, or rather doesn't show, the main bonding jumper.

Because they are supposed to in a normal servce panel...remember the Grounded and Grounding conductors terminate on the same buss bar in the service panel.....it's the remote panels that it does not...

The sheet is nice to let HI's see the different systems....I am not in a position to critic it....because I could not make a sheet like this.....while I would like to have been consulted on it....I just found it on the internet doing an image search.....trying to find some images for a seminar I am doing.

It's a Service Panel that's where they should go. Grounds and neutrals are separated in a Sub panel.
