Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The project begins by identifying the need to upgrade an existing sub-panel in a garage to accommodate more breaker capacity, specifically for an Electric Vehicle (EV) charger and a generator inlet. The old sub-panel and the new, larger sub-panel that will be installed are shown. Before any work begins, it is crucial to ensure that the main power supply to the sub-panel is completely shut off from the main electrical panel. The old panel cover is removed using appropriate tools.

Goal: Prepare for sub-panel upgrade and ensure electrical safety by turning off power.

Tools and materials

  • New Sub-panel — The replacement electrical panel with higher breaker capacity
  • Screwdriver — Removing the cover of the existing sub-panel
