What did you do to your shop today?

[Malibu795]

Got rid of the 40+ year old pushmatic service panel for something newer. I'm sure there's aspect that aren't to current 2024 code, but it's substantially better than previous Setup.
Split few circuits that were combined as well, mainly perimeter outlets.had some 12-18 outlets on a single 20A breaker at least they ran 12/2 stuff which predates colored sheathing.

Not adding any more electrical load than already was there previously but man that old box was tight

Can do 13 outlets per the 1.5A rule on a 20A breaker unless I'm missing something? So not too crazy ridiculous.

I'm not up to speed that much on limits. It's probably fine, but I didn't like it much. Also that pushmatic had 12 spots so they probably combined circuits for that reason mainly, new box has 20 spaces and light circuits I can run 2 circuit per space..

my shop is 60*80 pole barn that was built late 70s early 80s. My gues they used it for block heaters on tractors in the winter (Ohio).
It's a North/South facing building, with door on the south side, so I split it in to east/west circuits, did same thing to the lights, even though everything has been swapped LED. i could technically put ever light circuit on 1-15A breaker. Being surrounded by fields mice/squirrels can be an issue and I'd rather loose one string vs everything
