Tim,
Thank you for your kind and speedy response. Your answer was concise and easy to understand.
From what you said it leads me to another question. In both panels a ground conductor appears from both ends of the cable... I am curious why the previous installer chose not to use it can go through the expense of placing a ground electrode instead.
In any case... thanks.
