Kitchen sub-panel
Hi Folks... I'm remodeling my kitchen and would like to put a sub-panel in for all the kitchen circuitry in the new pantry. It's about 50 ft. from the 200 amp main panel. Ill have dedicated, small appliance, and lighting circuits. 9 circuits in all. Stove and oven are gas. My question is what size circuit breaker should I use at the main and what size wire should I run to the sub-panel. There are (7) 15 amp and (2) 20 amp circuits. All your help will be greatly appreciated...

Why do you need a sub panel? How many lights are you going to install, how many small apliances? Two pipes/ 4 circuits, 20 amp, #12 or #10 wire depending on your electric demand, will most likely give you all the electricity you will ever use. Be careful to follow nec code for proper sizing of wire.

tommyd... the way I understand the nec code it requires 2 20 amp amall appliance circuits in the kitchen, and dedicated circuits for dish waher, disposal, built in microwave and trash compactor. I all so have 15 lights switched in 3 different areas. Reason for sub- panel was to clean up old wiring... Thanks |
