Sub panel
I want to use a 200 amp main panel as a sub panel. I want to feed new panel with a 100 amp breaker. I have grounds and neutrals on the same grounding bar that are mounted directly to the panel. Will I have a bonding issues and can I land the new 100 amp wire on the new panel on the mail breaker?

In a sub panel the grounds and neutral will need to be separated.
The grounds go to the bar mounted to the panel chassis.
The neutrals go to the insulated neutral bar that came with the panel.

The code says the first point of disconnect is only point where the grounds and neutrals are bonded. In most houses that is the main panel. However some places have a disconnect on a pole or at the meter. If that is the case the main panel inside the house is then considered a sub panel and grounds and neutrals must be separate.
