We have an existing 200A single phase panel with an UFER ground. A detached garage was built adjacent to the house where the existing service drop conductors went over the roof of the garage. Therefore the service needed to be relocated to the garage so that we would have the clearance necessary.
We built a new service with a main disconnect at the garage. The inspector told me to put a ground plate at the garage and that I do not need a grounding conductor running from the new disconnect to the existing panel (sub panel).
The UFER ground then is not tied to the service it goes directly to the sub panel. Should the grounding conductor and the grounded conductor be tied together at the sub panel?
