Been skating by with a full main panel and manual transfer switch for inverter for a while now. Well we bought a PHEV and now need to add a panel for additional circuit(s), want to anyway for when I upgrade my inverter here. Really like the 6000xp at my cabin but will need bigger here.
Anyway want to install a new recessed sub panel directly adjacent to main (very next wall cavity to left). I will need to extend circuits and obviously run a feeder and wonder how I do this with a wireway. All of the circuits I would move come in at the bottom of the main panel. If I cutout a knockout in rear of wireway for each panel, how to I protect the romex coming into and out of the wireway if mounting a 6”x6” (code compliant, really want 12x12) under both panels.
Or would using two nipples between each panel be better, 1 for feeder and one for moving/extending circuits (yes, load bearing wall)? Prefer wireway.
Appreciate any assistance.
