Hello,
I am installing a subpanel in a utility shed and already have a panel in there using 2-60 amp tubes and another tube for the ground. What I would like to do is put a subpanel in there to where I can put four 20 amp breakers. The wire they ran already is a 10 gauge with 1 black 1 white and a ground. How would I wire these existing wires in the new subpanel. I see most subpanels have a red, a black, and a white with a ground. I bought a subpanel that doesn't have a ground bar just a neutral bar. Should I put the ground to the box from the feed and then the new grounds to the neutral or just twist them all together to a pig tail and ground them with the feed ground to the box. I am adding 6 plugs, 4 lights, a switch and a fan. Do I have to run new wire from the main house panel that has a red wire in it? Also if the breaker in the main panel from which the feed comes from isn't a 60 amp do I need to replace it with a 60 amp?
Thank You,
Scott
