Calculating Sub-Panel and Main Panel Load
[ad#block]Electrical Question: Can you have more than one sub panel box extend off the main panel.
- For Example:
- A Main Panel box to a sub-panel box and a 2nd sub-panel box off the 1st sub-panel box.
Thank You

Thanks for your electrical wiring question Calvin.
How to Understand Load Calculations When Adding Sub-Panels
- Yes, additional sub-panels may be added to existing main panels, and to an existing sub-panel as long as the connected electrical loads are fully identified so that the overall circuit load does not become overloaded.
- Adding any panel or sub-panel requires careful planning, however this practice is commonplace in most commercial and industrial applications, but again, all of the loads are carefully identified to ensure system integrity is maintained.
