Project overview: 60A underground feeder for a future subpanel in Cary, NC

Touchstone Electric’s Raleigh team completed a clean, code-ready underground feeder installation in Cary, NC for homeowner Alison Rosciano. The scope supported a 60-amp subpanel feeder, providing reliable power capacity for future circuits. Work was completed on 2025-03-11 by technician Cody Perry.

This job falls under our Panels & Service Upgrades category, with a focus on Subpanel Installation preparation and infrastructure.

What we installed

30 ft of 3/4 in PVC conduit with fittings, connectors, and LBs as applicable for a clean, protected pathway from the source to the planned subpanel location.
30 ft of UF #6/2 direct-burial cable sized for a 60A feeder, routed through the trench to support a subpanel load center.
Trenching and backfill performed neatly, with utility-aware routing and a tidy finish for minimal landscape disruption.

The underground UF cable was installed to a minimum burial depth of 24 inches (unless in rigid conduit), meeting common code requirements for direct-burial feeders. The assembly was laid out for straightforward final connections and inspection-readiness.

Note: This scope did not include a breaker, posts, or any receptacle/switch/fixture installations, in line with the defined work order.

How we ensured code-ready results

Accurate layout to maintain practical routing while preserving existing landscaping.
Clean conduit transitions using LBs and appropriate connectors to protect conductors at entry and exit points.
Proper burial depth for UF cable and a neat trench profile to support longevity and safety.
Clear labeling and organization at termination points to streamline future subpanel tie-in and inspection.

The finished run positions the homeowner for a smooth subpanel setup, making it easier to add future home circuits such as a workshop, basement circuits, or other dedicated loads.
