Hey folks,
I want to install a sub-panel next to the existing house panel. I'd like to run 100A service to this panel to cover general lighting, a smallish wood working setup, and a pottery kiln.
1) Am I allowed to run power out through the bottom of the existing panel, throught the stud, in through the bottom of the new panel, and up to the main breaker lugs at the top? (I'm planning on using 2-2-2-4 Aluminum for this connection)
2) I picked up a Siemens panel that looked like it would fit my needs. During test-fitting, I found that the door for the new panel overlaps the breakers on the first panel. Will this pass inspection, or do I need to find a different panel (with a narrow door)?
Thanks!
