What happens here

The new 60-amp subpanel is installed securely in the prepared opening. The newly run #6 THHN wires (hot, neutral, and ground) are carefully terminated to their respective bus bars and breakers within the subpanel. It is critical to ensure the neutral and ground wires are properly separated and landed on distinct bus bars. Once the internal wiring is complete and verified, the drywall around the new subpanel is repaired to restore the wall's integrity.

Goal: Install and correctly wire the new subpanel, adhering to electrical code and repairing the drywall.
