Answer:

ground bar in the panel

Step-by-step explanation:

In a typical home electrical panel installation the main ground wire is connected directly from ground rod driven into the ground to the "ground bar in the panel".

When a ground rod is used due to the fact that the panel is a sub-panel, it will be connected to the ground bars. Also, there should be a separation between the ground bar and the neutral.

The ground bar and the neutral are usually bonded together because of the same potential they possess. But they are separated when a ground rod is used.
