Need advice before I call for inspection on temporary power pole for new home. Power company requires ground wire to ground rod. I’m using a 2 space 70 amp panel to run two GFCI receptacles.
Should my ground wires in the panel go into the neutral bar? If they don’t reach, can I use a jumper from ground bar to neutral bar? Thanks for help.

not well upon US regs, but i would think that both boxes should be grounded and i can't see a ground wire to your receptacles. Megawatt is you best bet on this. he's the US electrical Guru.

Thanks for the reply. I have the bare ground wires from the receptacles going into the grounding bar to the bottom right of the panel box. I’m thinking they need to go into the neutral bar instead? Unless the ground bar being bonded to the box with the neutral bar is enough. Just want to solve this before calling for inspection.

The ground wire goes from the neutral bar in the panel to the ground rod unbroken. You also have to bond the panel to neutral bar
