Getting ready to do this work and rethinking use of gutter. Neutrals are also current carrying conductors. Moving 10 circuited will be 20 conductors between old and new panel. Think I may just nipple the recessed panels together and call it a day. Will ‘plumb’ for new AC OUT of main panel to...

I can’t search or see my previously posted content to get to a specific thread. I just get these errors. Tried both on and off WiFi.

Thanks @HighTechLab . This house is 25 years old and panel never touched so by extending to sub, now need to look across all circuits and figure out which ones need gfci and/or arc fault. Ugh.

I plan on extending hot and neutrals for each circuit. Leverage busbar like Dexter did for ground. Reading further about derating: If more than 3 current carrying conductors in more than 24" of conduit, need to derate If using a METAL gutter/trough, need to derate AFTER more than 30 current...

@HighTechLab Do you happen to have the NEC code reference for this. I'll probably have 10 runs of 12/2 swinging over as well as the feeder, probably more than 24" based on panel placement. Is it: Table 310.15(B)(3)(a)

@HighTechLab, looks like you just had a ground bar in the trough for all the Romex runs and a single run down to panel. Inspector did't have an issue with that?

Just watched a video from @HighTechLab. He did something similar to extend his romex during his home Solark install. Looks like he extended from romex to thhn then down the flex conduit to panel. He went top to down. I’m going opposite direction. I’ll cut out Sheetrock under panel, pull out...

Nope. Here they are after I took that blank plate off. No wiggle room at all. Counted 17 romex coming up center large knockout on panel. All jammed through the lower wall plate Still considering 6x6x36 wire trough under both panels. Could ‘fix’ some of that center knockout cram issue on main...

The 10 circuits I want to move to CL Panel have about 5” of romex jacket on them between bottom of panel and bottom wall plate(red line) Won’t be enough to swing over. There is only one wire out of the top of the panel going to a sub panel upstairs. So my only options would be to mount a...

Think I’m going to just drill another hole through the stud and have two nipples between the panels. This TS one looks to be 1” and I can use a 1.5” or so at the top. Use THHN to extend main panel circuits to sub panel and then the feeder. Messing with a trough under the panels seems to be a...

@billvon So I can splice romex to romex in a 6”x6”x36” wireway/trough going under the panels and terminate in sub panel. I bet I have 15 romex wires coming up the large center hole in the main panel today, not sure why I would need to punch out a hole in the back of the trough for each or two...

@billvon So for #1, I can splice romex to romex in the wireway and bring it to second panel. If so this is great, have about 100 feet of both 12 and 14awg laying around. Assume a 2” knockout for each panel in rear of wireway would suffice for all the romex and thhn for feeder. Or are you just...

Been skating by with a full main panel and manual transfer switch for inverter for a while now. Well we bought a PHEV and now need to add a panel for additional circuit(s), want to anyway for when I upgrade my inverter here. Really like the 6000xp at my cabin but will need bigger here. Anyway...

Not at my cabin right now but believe it is 99%

My charge voltage is 55.6v but SOC is hitting 100% before that so balancing doesn’t occur (luckily my pack is balanced to .005v).
