Good morning - I just installed a subpanel in my garage and have not pulled the wires yet - Before I do, i need some expert knowledge regarding using my main panel's neutral bus bar for circuits on my sub panel.
Distance from Main Panel to Sub - 20 feet. Rigid conduit raceway 3/4".
I am moving a couple circuits - outdoor lighting and second, outdoor GFI's over to the 60(a) sub panel. I planned on just running (3) #8, (2) #12 for the GFI & (1) #14 for lighting circuit - however do i need to pull another neutral for the lighting circuit or can I bond this to the main sub panel bus bar & if I can, do I need to bother running the dedicated neutral for the GFI or can I bond that directly to the main panel as long as i am on the same phase ? I believe all wiring must originate from the same panel but I am not 100% clear on this & TIA!
