Adding a circuit to an in-wall panel.

[Sennen]

I have a panel in my garage wall and I want to add 2 circuits to my garage. I was planning on running EMT near the ceiling and then down to where the refrigerators will plug into them.

My question is: How would I go from the panel in the wall to EMT out of the wall? 90? Offset? The electricians that put in the panel when the house was built were kind enough to run everything through a single knockout which tempts me to rewire the whole panel to use more than the one knockout, but that's a later project. For now, it frees me up to use any of these 1/2" knockouts for EMT.

Love Jefferson electric videos. Probably why i missed this under everyday home repairs.

Thanks!

Started with Joe's method. However, I wanted two circuits and as it's a garage circuit, I used AF/GF combo breakers (they were out of just GF breakers). Sharing a neutral between them wouldn't jive with two circuits.

Ended up ripping out the wall above the panel to run the conduit the remainder of the way as I ended up using THHN to run the two circuits.

I wish my main panel would look as good as that one. And that garage is what.. 10' tall? Must be a newer house.

I see he uses the same hammer for the knockout that was posted in another thread here ;-)
