The neutral busbar of the distribution box is not grounded

Yes, the neutral wire is connected to ground, but only at one specific location: your home's main electrical panel. A grounding bar, also called a ground bar, earth bar, or PE bar, connects protective earth conductors and normally carries current only during fault conditions. Grounding electrode conductors must be connected at accessible points from the load end of service conductors, with specific rules for outdoor transformers and. According to NEC Article 250, both the neutral and ground wires must be connected only in the main panel or at the first service disconnect. This practice is essential. The electrical panel, often called the breaker box, is the central distribution point for your home's power. The Article 100 definition for “neutral conductor” was added in the 2008 NEC.
