We bought a property last summer that has power to a couple outbuildings supplied by direct-buried wire. Even though it's all 4-wire cable (including ground), the neutral and ground are tied together on all the subpanels -- something I'm working to correct panel by panel to separate.
On one run to a shed, there's a junction box hanging on a post in the ground that serves as a shutoff. It's a bit of a mess (see picture) so I'd like to replace and correct the neutral/ground bonding here as well.
What would this box be called when I'm shopping for the parts? Should it be grounded to a ground rod? Should there be a breaker or fuse in something like this?
Thanks!
