Mark,
The neutral and ground must be bonded together at the main panel as stated on
the reflector many times. The ground, and neutral bus are often one in the same
in a residential panel.
The detached barn requires it's own service. This service must have it's own
grounding electrodes to limit the impedance to ground at this location, and the
neutral must be bonded to ground here.
If the barn service panel is fed from the house service panel, You must also
bond the services together.

My Neutral and Ground is connected at the main panel but also at the barn
300 feet away. I am running a 3 wire 100 amp 240v power 4 00 aluminum line
to the barn from a 100 amp 240v breaker located in my main distribution box.
I didn't like the idea of a gnd neutral tie that far away from the barn, so
I tied them together at the barn with a second ground rod located at the
barn. Is that such a bad idea?
Mark
