Splicing grounds

[walterhelton21]

So I have a GE powermark plus load center, the neutrals are double tapped with most of the grounds on the left bus bar. Is there any code against splicing the grounds and running them to the right bus bar? I would appreciate any information. Thanks

There is no problem splicing the grounds

Welcome to the forum. What type of contractor are you?

Make sure it's okay for the grounds and neutrals to share the same bus(es) in this instance.

You can splice several EGC's together and pigtail off to the bus. You cannot do the same with several neutrals.

I wanted to know what type of contactor before offering detailed advice, just to be safe.

I'm a General contractor. I've have plenty experience in electrical but im not as farmiliar with the NEC as most of the people on this forum. This instance IS the main service disconnect if that's what you're asking.
