This is a 2 part inquiry.
About three months ago I was at a customers home and as I was leaving he asked me to take a look in his detached Garage where he had an issue with a breaker tripping. The panel in the Garage has a 3 wire feed, the grounded conductor, neutral, is floating and the equipment grounds are attached to the can along with a ground rod. There is NO metallic pathway back to the House so I installed a Bonding Jumper, per 250.32(B)(1) exception. Was this the correct addition to the panel?
I received a call yesterday from this customer to come by and look at wiring a newly installed Unit Heater in the Garage. There is now a metallic gas line back to the House. So now I see the only way to correct this would be to add an Equipment Grounding Conductor from the House panel and remove the Bonding Jumper that I had installed. Is this correct?
Thanks, as always, in advance.
