Kora Founders Edition Install 1.7 | Cut, Strip and Land the Mains

Cut and strip your conductors, then land the mains in the Smart Panel's high-voltage zone.

1 min read

Next up are your conductors: cut and strip them, then land the mains in the Smart Panel's high-voltage zone. Do this only with every source locked out and verified dead.

The Smart Panel keeps high-voltage and low-voltage wiring in separate zones. Wire the source section first and keep the standard color convention so the next person can read the panel at a glance.

Key steps

  • Cut and strip conductors to the specified length
  • Land the mains in the high-voltage zone
  • Black for L1, red for L2, gray for neutral, green for equipment ground

Part of the Kora Smart Panel installation series for licensed electricians installing the Kora Founders Edition. Previous: 1.6 Set and Level the Main Assembly. Next: 1.8 Conductor Prep and Isolating Every Source.
