I'd say that is an exaggerated figure :happyyes: that is, if we limit it to the issue we're discussing.Probably about 400 billion incorrect installs out there then (not counting incorrect sub panel grounding/bonding).
Usually if the neutrals and EGCs are allowed to be bonded, the neutrals are landed on any bus/bar in the panel.
I've never had nor heard of an inspector flagging anyone for this unless it was a sub panel.:happyno:
Might be because 200.2(B) wasn't in the code until the 2008.
For the sake of clarity, I'm referring to neutrals landed on a grounding bar mounted to the panel enclosure, and there is regular neutral bar. I've seen plenty of panels with EGC's on Neutral bars, which is permitted. But seldom have I seen neutrals on the grounding bar... but then again, anymore I'm seldom involved with residential wiring.
