Now, you don't need to overtighten it. And what type of system is this? This is a Seaman's P1 panel. Okay. This is the largest panel at Seammens makes. This is a Seaman's bolt-on breaker. Okay. So, if you notice, it doesn't have captive screws like Square E does. So, the screws are already into the bus, which we have removed. Make sure power is off. All right. And now I'm going to set the breaker, and it's going to stay there. Take my 5/16inch nut driver with a magnetic holder. I always use one hand because I don't want to create a loop even though the panel is off. Just one hand. Yep. One screw at a time. Carefully go in. Now, you don't need to overtighten it in that point. I like to use a nut driver. Not going crazy with the drill. Mhm. I'm letting the drill catch it. So, now our breaker is in. We're going to torque these with a torque wrench. And then what I'll do now is I'll connect my leads. How many amps is this panel? The panel is uh believe this is a 600 amp main. 600 amp. Okay.
