What happens here
With the service entrance now live up to the new disconnect, attention shifts to the internal distribution panel. The video briefly shows the process of installing and wiring a new 200 AMP sub-panel. This involves securing the new panel to the wall, connecting the feed wires from the main disconnect to the panel's main lugs, installing circuit breakers, and wiring individual branch circuits into the new panel. This process ensures an organized and safe distribution of power throughout the house.
Goal: Replace the old electrical distribution panel with a new 200 AMP panel to improve safety and capacity.
