I installed a 60amp breaker in the main service panel in the house to power the garage. In the house the ground wires where connected to the white neutral bus bar.
I installed a 20 amp GFCI breaker for the outlets in the garage also a 8' ground rod, but the GFCI breaker always trips.
Should I put the house ground wires on its own bus bar and connect it to another ground rod at the house?
Thanks for any help.
Dan
