I have a simple question, that I believe I already know the answer to, but just need confirmation before moving on.
I had an electrician install a 100 amp subpanel installed on a newly built detached garage. He used 4 wire (2 hot, 1 neut, 1 gnd) off the main, unbonded the neutral and ground in the subpanel, and also attached the grounding bar to an additional grounding rod located at the detached garage. I believe everything was done correctly, except for grounding the subpanel to the grounding bar. The grounding bar is floating, and not making contact with the panel. Shouldn't the grounding bar be bonded to the subpanel?

Best Answer
You are correct the grounding buss should be bonded. You can use a jumper as you plan.
