Erik Asquith

In this video we walk through the process of replacing a 100 AMP 20 Circuit Bryant Load Center with a 100 AMP General Electric 32 Circuit Load Center. Unfortunately my camera ran out of batteries when I started the process of installing the circuits in the new GE panel. I have included pictures of the final product at the end of the video.

In this video I also walk through:
Disconnecting the electrical meter
Verifying the power has been disconnected from the Load Center
Disconnecting the service lines from the Load Center
Disconnecting all circuits (hot/neutral/ground) from the Load Center
