Can you run an additional breaker panel parallel to the existing one?
It is not in parallel. You put a breaker in existing panel and use that to feed the subpanel. The Amperage of this subfeed breaker should match the rating of the new panel. For example a 100A breaker might be typical. Remember that ground and neutral are only "bonded" at the main panel. Usually a subpanel has a means to separate the neutral and ground in a subpanel. Be careful since everything about doing this is dangerous.Another AnswerYes, you can have two breaker panels in parallel. If you had a 100 amp panel on a 200 amp service (or increase the size of the service, check with your power company on the size of your service, you could add a second 100 amp panel in parallel with the first. You can have up to 6 disconnects per service, but they must be located adjacent to each other or in the same enclosure. So either install the second panel beside the first or a 100 amp disconnect beside the first panel and feed out of the disconnect to the new panel located where you need it.

No, the conductor is too small. The feeder to a 120/240 volt sub panel should be a 1/0 copper or a 2/0 aluminium conductor. This size conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 125 amps for 125 feet on a 240 volt system. ACWU 90 (Armoured Cable Wet location Underground 90 degree C). ACWU 90 cable is code approved for direct burial and is used in many projects as an underground service distribution feeder. Aluminium is much cheaper than copper for this type of installation.
What size aluminum wire to feed a 100 amp panel 240 ft away?

What is the cable between the service panel and electric meter called?
Whether you have an overhead or underground feed, that section of the installation is referred to as Service Entrance Conductors. On an overhead installation, it includes the conductors on BOTH sides of the meter, from the service drop conductors (attached at the service head) to the service equipment LINE terminals. On an underground installation, it refers only to the conductors between the meter's LOAD side and the service equipment LINE terminals. The conductors on the LINE side of the meter come from a distribution transformer and are unbroken between the transformer and your meter.

How does the feed through panel function in the electrical system?
The feed through panel in an electrical system allows for the connection of multiple circuits by passing power through the panel without the need for individual connections.
I have a Transformer 480 primary 208 secondary feeding 1 200amp mb 42 space panel I need to feed a subpanel 6 ft away I'm thinkin feed through lug at top of bus or at feed through MB suggestions?
The sub-panel need to be fed from the main panel, by way of a circuit breaker connected to one of the breaker locations. Or if your sub-panel has a main breaker installed you can feed from the main panel with a sub-feed lug kit. This looks like a breaker, but is only a point where you can branch off the sub panel.

Why would your power go out to your garage but not to your house and no fuses be blown?
Does the garage have a separate breaker box or fuse box inside? Is there a separate power feed for the garage? In the 70's and 80's some cities were allowing aluminum wiring INSIDE residences.
