Here I explain the reasons behind why the neutrals and grounds are tied together in your main panel or first disconnect means to the best of my ability. We will discuss the difference between bonding and grounding and why an electrical system is grounded in the first place. We will also look in the 2020 NEC code book and learn what an Effective Ground-Fault Current Path is.

Some of the questions this video should address:
Why do the ground and neutral wires go to the same place?
What is the purpose of grounding?
Where does the neutral wire com from?
Is the neutral connected to the main utility line neutral?
