What happens here

After preparing the sub panel, use a cordless drill to secure it firmly to the wall. This typically involves drilling pilot holes and then fastening the panel with appropriate screws. Next, route all the existing and new circuit wires from their respective conduits into the newly mounted sub panel. The video emphasizes that getting all the wires neatly and correctly into the panel can often be the most challenging part of the installation process.

Goal: Securely install the sub panel and prepare for wiring connections.

Tools and materials

  • Circuit Wires — Connecting the electrical loads to the breakers
  • Cordless Drill Milwaukee — Drilling pilot holes and securing the sub panel to the wall
  • Lineman's Pliers — Stripping wires, cutting wires, and occasionally used as a hammer (though not recommended for safety)
  • Screws — Fastening the sub panel to the wall
  • Sub Panel Square D — The main enclosure for the circuit breakers and wiring
