Breaker Box Safety Inspections for Subpanels

This video describes the most important part about inspecting a subpanel. That is that the grounds and neutrals need to be separated. In order for this too happen the wire feeding the subpanel needs to have 2 hots, a neutral, and a ground wire. If your panel has a green bonding screw in it, this needs to be removed.

Other items to inspect I have listed in my other video about main panel safety inspections. You want to make sure your circuits aren’t over fused, wires are phased correctly, and nothing is doubled tapped to name a few.
