    No, that would be a very bad idea unless you also run a new 4-wire feeder back to the service panel. If you separate the grounds from the neutral, you'll no longer have a low-impedance path through which to clear faults. Just leave it as it is. - Jim Katen, Oregon Ok, will do. Thanks!

    Michigan has not adopted 2008 for single family dwellings. We are still on 2006. This I am extremely happy about. I just rewired the house, and I REALLY REALLY did not want to buy a whole bunch of arc flash breakers. As for the garage, I am going to put a separate ground bar in the box when I get to it. Is that legal to do if the sub panel did not come with one?

    I am glad I found this question, because this almost my exact setup to my detached garage. My setup( from previous owner) is such: 60 amp 2 pole in main panel 3 wire 4 awg out to garage ( in plastic conduit) service panel in garage is a 6 slot square D with NO main breaker, and one neutral/ground bar. 6awg copper from the single bar to an 8 ft copper ground rod. no ground wire carried from the house, just 2 hots and a neutral , and the neutral is not bare (i.e. identical to the 2 hots, except yellow stripe on insulation.) There is nothing metal between the 2 structures, and they are 30 ft apart.
