How to Wire a Square D Homeline Sub Panel

This guide will show you how to wire a Square D Homeline sub panel. This is a relatively simple task that can be completed in a few hours. However, it is important to note that this guide is for informational purposes only, and you should always consult with a qualified electrician before performing any electrical work.

Step 1: Install the sub panel

The first step is to install the sub panel. To do this, you will need to find a suitable location for the panel, such as a garage or basement. The panel should be mounted securely to a wall or other solid surface.

Step 2: Run the feeder wires

The next step is to run the feeder wires from the main panel to the sub panel. The feeder wires are the wires that will carry the electricity to the sub panel. The size of the feeder wires will depend on the amperage of the sub panel.

To run the feeder wires, you will need to drill a hole through the wall or other surface where the wires will enter the sub panel. You will then need to thread the wires through the hole and into the sub panel.

Step 3: Connect the feeder wires

Once the feeder wires are run, you will need to connect them to the sub panel. To do this, you will need to use a screwdriver to loosen the terminal screws on the sub panel. You will then need to insert the feeder wires into the terminals and tighten the screws.

Step 4: Connect the branch circuit wires

The next step is to connect the branch circuit wires to the sub panel. The branch circuit wires are the wires that will carry the electricity from the sub panel to the individual circuits.

To connect the branch circuit wires, you will need to use a screwdriver to loosen the terminal screws on the sub panel. You will then need to insert the branch circuit wires into the terminals and tighten the screws.

Step 5: Turn on the power

Once all of the wires are connected, you can turn on the power. To do this, you will need to throw the main breaker in the main panel. You will then need to throw the breakers in the sub panel to the "On" position.

Step 6: Test the sub panel

Once the power is on, you should test the sub panel to make sure that it is working properly. To do this, you can use a voltmeter to check the voltage at the outlets and switches that are connected to the sub panel.

If everything is working properly, you have successfully installed a Square D Homeline sub panel.
