I currently have a 200amp main breaker panel located in my garage.
From the garage to the house is a buried line that feeds a 60amp fuse subpanel.
I am going to upgrade the subpanel in my house and need a little advice.
First of all What size panel should I put in?
100 - 125 - 150?
The 60 that is currently in the house does seem to supply just enough power but I need to add circuits and would like to have more power available for the future.
I know I need #4 copper wire with the 100 and #1 copper with the 150 but what do I need for a 125 panel?
The garage to the house is about 70 feet of wire. Do I need to move my wire size up to accommodate this or is the #4 for the 100panel sufficient?
Last question is what size conduit do I need for #1 or #4 wire?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
