The pertinent part of 408.40...

Equipment grounding conductors shall not be connected
to a terminal bar provided for grounded conductors or neutral
conductors unless the bar is identified for the purpose and is
located where interconnection between equipment grounding
conductors and grounded circuit conductors is permitted or
required by Article 250.

...and from Article 250...

250.142 Use of Grounded Circuit Conductor for

Since it is the members first post, it does need to be read by a moderator before it will show up in the forum.

Does seem like a pretty elementary question from someone that says in their profile that they are an engineer.
