An electrical sub-panel is a smaller electrical panel that is connected to the main electrical panel in a building. Sub-panels are used to distribute power to different areas or circuits within a building, and they help to reduce the amount of wiring needed for long distances.
Sub-panels are typically installed in larger buildings or homes where there are multiple circuits that need power. They can also help to prevent overloading of the main electrical panel by distributing power more evenly.
Some common uses for electrical sub-panels include:
1. Adding circuits for new appliances or equipment
2. Providing power to detached garages or outbuildings
3. Separating lighting circuits from power circuits
4. Creating dedicated circuits for specific equipment or machinery
When installing an electrical sub-panel, it is important to follow local building codes and regulations to ensure that it is done safely and correctly. It is also recommended to hire a licensed electrician to install and maintain the sub-panel to prevent any electrical hazards.
