Breaker Box Has No Ground Connection
I'm running power to a separate building. I ran four number eights (2 blacks, white and green) in conduit. I look at other panels and see where people have connected the ground (green) and the common (white) under the same lug or on the same rail. I searched around and see where no one seems to like this idea. Problem is I don't have a "ground" lug in this panel. Can I just buy a mechanical lug, fasten it to the box and then secure the ground wire there?

So, basically, the #8 ground wire just ends up attached to the panel box?

OK, that makes sense. I just wonder why there is only one bar in this panel. I looked for a way to disconnect the top from the bottom but could not see one.
