Neutral/ground bonding question.

I have a Midnite E-Panel and the wiring schematic shows a neutral/ground bond inside the e panel. From previous threads I have read there can only be one. All of my power equipment, batteries, ect... is located inside a shed. My intentions are no neutral/ground bond in either the e panel or the shed's sub A/C panel. The shed has a grounding rod which will be connected to the house's grounding rod and the house A/C box has the only neutral/ground bond in the whole system. Does this sound correct? I know you guy have probably answered this thousands of times but one more please?

Thanks again

    Yes, you only want one N-G bond. It doesn't really matter what the location of it is: shed where power is generated, E-panel where connections are made, or AC distribution panel. Just so long as it's only one bond and all the other neutral and ground wires are connected appropriately.

    You have me thinking about the meaning of "sub" panel. Does your sub panel receive its feed from the Main (N-G bonded) panel? --vtMaps
