    Electrical installation
    I am adding an addition to a house that will have a bedroom with outlets and lighting, and a kicthenette with only a refgrig and microvwave. Will a 50 amp breaker with #6 wire fed from the main 200 amp panel to a small sub panel be enough for this addition?
    Enough for a couple of 15 amp breakers and a dedicated 20 amp for the frig?
    Thank you.

    Yes a 50 amp subpanel is sufficient for the loads you listed.

    If you are pulling #6, why not use 60 Amp breaker as well, Verify Panel is rated 60 Amps.
