Why a 125A Subpanel?
A 125A subpanel is a smart way to expand a home’s electrical capacity without a full service upgrade. It provides a central point for new circuits, helps reduce crowding in the main panel, and supports future projects. In this Kannapolis installation, the subpanel is supplied by a 100A feeder breaker, delivering ample capacity for the added outlets, lighting, and welder circuit while maintaining organized, accessible distribution.
Professional Trenching and Conduit Work
Our team installed underground conduit to protect feeder and branch wiring between locations on the property. The job included approximately 100 feet of trenching at 18–24 inches of depth with careful backfilling and site cleanup. Total installed conduit measured about 115 feet, ensuring a durable pathway for conductors and long-term reliability.
Before any digging, 811 utility location is essential. Touchstone Electric encourages homeowners to contact 811 for utility marking prior to trenching to help safeguard underground services and maintain a safe jobsite.
New Circuits, Outlets, and Lighting
To meet the homeowner’s needs, we added multiple circuits in the new subpanel:
- Four 20A receptacles for tools, appliances, or general use.
- A dedicated welder receptacle designed to serve welding equipment.
- Two new light points with a convenient switch to brighten the space and improve functionality.
All installations were completed with attention to neatness, labeling, and adherence to current electrical standards for safe, reliable operation.
