Read More »Tiny homes — houses that generally measure under 500 square feet — have become increasingly popular in the face of rising real-estate costs. You can actually purchase tiny homes on Amazon, which has dozens of build-it-yourself tiny-home kits that provide the basic materials and tools, shipped directly to your front door. Amazon also sells a variety of other affordable structures, including houses on wheels and build-your-own-home kits that are much bigger than what would be considered "tiny."

The current NEC code requires a 4-wire feeder so there is a separate grounding connector between the Main and Sub panels. The neutral and ground are not bonded in the subpanel.
I added a drawing. of both wiring configurations. The only advantage I can see is the 4 wire gives you a dedicated ground fault circuit vs sharing the neutral wire. Open neutral between the two panels would make the ground hot in the 3 wire. Open neutral between the main panel and transformer would make the ground hot in the 4 wire. I am trying to understand how this works and why the code changed. In this case you have a detached shop 250 feet away with no plumbing or other connections to the house with the main panel. The current NEC code requires a 4-wire feeder so there is a separate grounding connector between the Main and Sub panels. The neutral and ground are not bonded in the subpanel. In this setup if a hot wire coming in contact with the non-current carrying parts of the electrical system, (outlet covers, panel covers etc), the 4th ground conductor will provide a low resistance patch back to the source tripping a breaker. This 4th grounding connector ties the ground rod at the sub panel to the ground rod at the Main panel making a grounding system.
