    What size amp to use to feed sub panel?
    I added a 100 amp sub panel in my house. I am using a main breaker panel with 60 amps. I need to know what amp breaker to use from my main 200 amp panel to feed my sub panel. Also, I am using #6-3
    Thanks

    As long as the calculated load is 55A or less you can use a 60A breaker. Other wise use a 50A.
