I am adding a workshop separate from the residence. This is in Costa Rica, so some things are a little different, but not much. I will be tying into the existing wiring just past the meter. Currently, at the meter, the ground from the residence main panel, the neutral from the residence main panel, the ground from the grounding rod and the neutral from the utility are all bonded. There is a 100 amp breaker between the meter and the main panel (It is physically right at the meter).
My plan is to add the workshop ground and neutral to the other four that are bonded together. I will add a second 100 amp breaker for the hot legs to the workshop.
My question is:
Do I need to put a grounding rod at the workshop and connect it to the workshop ground bar?
I will not bond the neutral and ground at the workshop, correct?
