Sub panel question. I'm confused
Hi. I want to install a sub panel in my workshop and feed it from the main panel. I bought an Eaton BR indoor main lug panel that can accommodate 8 circuits which will be perfect for my needs. Upon inspection I noticed that the panel has only 1 bus bar in it, and I was expecting 2. One for grounds and one for neutrals. Did I get the wrong type of box? If NO, how would this guy wire up, I'm assuming the bar is for neutral...

They like to nickle and dime you for these. You need to buy a ground kit. It attaches the the pre-tapped holes to the right of the neutral bar.

Be aware if your shop is detached from the structure that the main panel is in you need to have a main disconnect at the shop if there is more than 6 breakers in the subpanel per the NEC. I suggest using a main breaker panel in detached structures.
