Don"t forget you have to keep your ground and grounded conductors separated at sub panel.

Never try to memorize page numbers in the NEC. It is an exercise in futility.

:laughing: I pulled the nearest NEC out and looked at the page number. I have enough trouble remembering what the pages actually say.
