Neither.

It is not the service panel, nor is it a "subpanel" as there is no such thing.

It is a "distribution panel", or, if it is easier to remember, it is "not service equipment".

Main service closet was unavailable for entrance.
Why? Locked? No one knew where it was?

Quote:
Reason asking is ground and neutral were on same bus.
Being as it is "not service equipment", the neutral is to be isolated from ground.

How do I *know* it is "not service equipment"? Because it is *one building* and *one building* does not allow for each of 50 units to have "service equipment" in them.
