[M4wdFab]

my hf generator has sat for 10months plus, cant even remember last use. 

2 pulls puts like new.  10 minutes of idle, electric start charged up enough to work.

Iirc I think the going rate is a buck a sq ft at one inch so I'd guess 9k labor/material

[M4wdFab]

ran conduit and pulled wire.  connected to 100amp breaker in barn "main" panel that is fed from meter.   

didnt die. 


so i have a sub panel that now has a ground that goes to no where other than the pannel shell.  does it need a ground rod?!?  wtf

[M4wdFab]

neutral and ground is bonded in 150 amp main panel.  the sub i ran is 100amp and 4 wires.  hot hot neutral ground.  even though the ground and neutral are hooked to basically the same bar 2" apart in the main which i dont get what is the point but ill ignore that for now.


at my sub box, neutral is comon with main box neutral but ground goes no where..... other than the pannel.  (pvc conduit and wood mounted)

[M4wdFab]

so i have a sub panel that now has a ground that goes to no where other than the pannel shell.  does it need a ground rod?!?  wtf

False, it goes to the ground of the panel that im feeding from to share ground.... so there would be no point to run a 4th wire if i added a ground rod for the sub...
 
lots of bad info and its amazing how many people think they know things lol. 


JJ says i am good with no rod, going with that

[M4wdFab]

google says

Grounding for Sub Panels

A second panel or sub panel should have the neutral and ground terminals or bars isolated from each other, this is why the main circuit feed to the sub panel must have 4 wires, with a dedicated insulated wire for the neutral and a separate wire for the ground.
All the ground wires bond back at the main panel together with the neutrals.
The sub panel neutral bar or terminal should not be bonded to the enclosure or the ground of the sub panel. The sub panel ground should not have a ground rod tied to it.
The bonding for the main ground sources such as a ground rod is made at the main panel where all the grounds are bonded together as well.

[etk300ex]

I am slightly confused with the question here, but I think you have it right.  The neutral to ground bond and ground rod will be at your main panel only.  Sub panel will get its ground from the ground bus and neutral from the neutral bus of the main panel.
