What happens here

Inside the Remote Power Panel (RPP), use a DeWalt drill equipped with a stepper bit to create a knockout hole. This knockout is essential for feeding the newly run 10/4 MC cables into the panel, allowing them to be connected to the circuit breakers. Ensure the power to the RPP is off and proper safety precautions are followed before performing any work inside.

Goal: Prepare the Remote Power Panel for incoming electrical cables.

Tools and materials

  • DeWalt Drill DeWalt — Driving the stepper bit to create knockouts
  • Safety Glasses — Protecting eyes from metal fragments during drilling
  • Stepper Bit — Creating clean, appropriately sized holes in the RPP for cable entry
  • Voltage Tester — Verifying that power is off before working inside the panel

What they say

Hide

under the floor since they are fireproof. So, my job is that I had to run 6 10 4 MC cables from the RPP to the new network racks. RPP stands for remote power panel. My dad is using a DeWalt drill with a stepper bit to make a knockout inside the panel so we can feed our wires. We got our wires ran to the locations, installed six pin and sleeve connectors, and left the plugs under the floor so when the IT guys come to put the new racks in, they got power. Breaker terminations complete. Job
