You mean outside of the picture? Because it goes directly to the service without connecting on anything at your figure.

You should absolutely not connect the neutral to the ground in any part of your installation. The service provider does ground it somewhere, but you should not.

No, I mean where the white neutral wire connects to the main bonding jumper on the panel in the right side of the image.

I'm not sure where we are missing each other here. My reference is NEC in the US, are you in a different part of the world?

They are connected though. Maybe outside of your system, maybe inside of your system, but the point is neutral and ground are connected. Idea being if any metallic casing gets into contact with live wire your fuses break before you can touch the casing and get electrocuted.
