The remote panel will have to have the bond screw removed between the ground and neutral bars. Otherwise VD on the neutral will energize everything connected to the grounds. As previously stated, one would never consider just a 120V service. I've seen "certified" electricians who where not qualified to change a U-ground receptacle.
