What happens here

Before installing any breakers, ensure the main circuit breaker for the entire electrical panel is turned OFF to prevent electric shock. Take the 50 Amp double-pole circuit breaker and align its tabs with the bus bar in the panel. Push firmly until it snaps securely into place. Repeat this process for the 30 Amp double-pole circuit breaker, installing it in an adjacent slot.

Goal: Add the new 30A and 50A circuit breakers to the electrical panel.

we'll run the wires. So, at this point, the lights are off in the garage. I killed the main breaker so I can start working in the panel. I'm going to drop that 50 amp in there. Basically, you put one side in there, get it clicked in in the little tabs, and then push in the back. They're they're a little difficult at times. So, you have to really give it might have to put a pliers or a screwdriver on it and and really get in there. I'm struggling with it right now, but I eventually get it. It it there it went pops right in. So, have the 50 in there. I'll throw the 30 in. We'll run some wire.
