Am I the only one seeing people land grounds on the neutral bus bar like it's fine?

Walked into a new construction last week and found the ground wires all stuffed onto the neutral bar with no main bonding jumper removed. How do you even miss that on a 200 amp panel?

Bet the inspector was too busy scrolling his phone to spot that.

Blame the inspector who missed it before you.

@evan_campbell you're right, but honestly half the time the inspector never even opens the panel if the trim covers are on yet. Pull the bonding screw or just move the grounds to a separate bar, it's a five minute fix if you carry the right parts in your van.
