What happens here

This project details how to add a new circuit breaker to an electrical panel that is already full by utilizing tandem (twin) circuit breakers. The process involves identifying suitable slots, replacing existing single-pole breakers with tandem breakers to create space, installing the new circuit breaker, and then resecuring the panel cover. This specific installation is for a 40 AMP breaker intended for an EV charger in a Square D QO panel.
