I spent my working life wireing and the later half as a state electrical
inspector. I am a certified master electrician and national;y certified
electrical inspector retired since 2000.
reading some of these post's, although there isn't a thing wrong with doing
your own wiring, I would heartily recomend you have your work inspected by
the local electrical inspector. When it comes to bonding and grounding, what
you don't know can kill you.

This is true!
The point to watch, in my opinion, is to take the branch out from the main
panel BEFORE the GFI, if used. A local GFI can then be added at the remote
location and the local ground strapped there to the neutral coming from the
main inlet. An added advantage of this is that if the local GFI trips you
don't have to run to the house to lift it.

Mark,
The neutral and ground must be bonded together at the main panel as stated
on the reflector many times. The ground, and neutral bus are often one in
the same in a residential panel.
The detached barn requires it's own service. This service must have it's own
grounding electrodes to limit the impedance to ground at this location, and
the neutral must be bonded to ground here.
If the barn service panel is fed from the house service panel, You must also
bond the services together.

My Neutral and Ground is connected at the main panel but also at the barn
300 feet away. I am running a 3 wire 100 amp 240v power 4 00 aluminum line
to the barn from a 100 amp 240v breaker located in my main distribution box.
I didn't like the idea of a gnd neutral tie that far away from the barn, so
I tied them together at the barn with a second ground rod located at the
barn. Is that such a bad idea?
Mark
