As many as you need. Just make sure the main breaker of the subpanel stays below 50 amps (the rating of the subpanel) and the input to the subpanel, whichever is lower.

Can you put a 50 amp beaker in a 60 amp panel?

I've never heard of a 50 amp b-e-a-k-e-r. You can put a 50 amp b-r- e-a-k-e-r in a 60 amp panel; but you can only have an additional 10 amp breaker along with it. You may need to consider adding another larger panel or a separate 50 amp breaker box.


Can you add a 20 amp breaker to main breaker if total breaker amp is 320 amp Main breaker max is four 150 amp breaker?

Total amps or calculated load has nothing to do with the number of breakers and their sizes. It is more complicated than adding the sum of the breakers, if you do that you will see that they would exceed 200 amps.It is based on square footage for the general receptacle and lighting loads,3000 watts is allowed for small appliances and this is just the beginning.Some experienced electricians have trouble with the calculations.If you are trying to see if you have enough capacity for an addition or some upgraded equipment,and you have breaker space,the chances are you will be O.K. Overloading the service would cause the main to trip.


Can you run an additional breaker panel parallel to the existing one?

It is not in parallel. You put a breaker in existing panel and use that to feed the subpanel. The Amperage of this subfeed breaker should match the rating of the new panel. For example a 100A breaker might be typical. Remember that ground and neutral are only "bonded" at the main panel. Usually a subpanel has a means to separate the neutral and ground in a subpanel. Be careful since everything about doing this is dangerous.Another AnswerYes, you can have two breaker panels in parallel. If you had a 100 amp panel on a 200 amp service (or increase the size of the service, check with your power company on the size of your service, you could add a second 100 amp panel in parallel with the first. You can have up to 6 disconnects per service, but they must be located adjacent to each other or in the same enclosure. So either install the second panel beside the first or a 100 amp disconnect beside the first panel and feed out of the disconnect to the new panel located where you need it.


Can you put 3 15 amp 2 20 amp 2 30 amp and 1 60 amp breakers on a 100 amp service?

That would depend on the Amp rating of each breaker. If the circuits being run into the panel only require 15 amp breakers then you would have a total of 4. However if you are running larger circuits requiring 30 Amp breakers then you would only have 2 total. So as you can see there are many variables involved in providing an accurate answer to this question.


How many watts can be put on a 20 amp 208 volt circuit breaker?

20-amp breakers can be found for many different voltage levels. The higher-voltage ones tend to be more expensive. A breaker can be used in a circuit of equal or lower voltage than the rated voltage of the breaker.

Can you put 3-15 amp 2- 20 amp 2- 30 amp and 1-60 amp breakers on a 100 amp service?

Yes, the assumption is that when house circuitry is layed out not all appliances will be on at the same time. If for some strange reason they were all loaded up the main breaker would trip. Just keep in mind that the main purpose of all breakers is to protect the wire that is connected to it. Secondally to remove any short circuits that might occur on these wires.


Can you put a 60amp breaker and a 50amp breaker on a 60amp subpanel just as long as they are not being used at the same time?

You can. Using these size breakers in a 60 amp sub panel might be pushing the limit for breaking the sub panels feeder breaker. The breaker feeding the sub panel will have to be no bigger than 60 amps because of the main bus bar capacity of the sub panel. It would be better to install a 100 amp sub panel and then there would be a bit of a buffer and you will have the ability to add additional small load circuits.

A 32 amp fixture can not be fed from a 20 amp breaker as the breaker will trip every time.

How many amps can be put on a 125 amp service?

You should not load a 125 amp panel any more than 100 amps.


What should you do if your 200A breaker panel is full and you need to add three forty amp two pole singal throw breakers?

First you need to determine if addition of the new breakers will exceed the 200A service under normal operating conditions. If so you will need to go to power company and increase service and put in a larger main panel. If you have the capacity for the extra current you can add a sub-panel and add the breakers there as well as the breakers you will remove from main panel to accommodate the sub-panel breaker. Another way depends on what breakers are in current panel. There are some breakers that can be duplexed in the same space as a single breaker.


What is needed to put a 240V outlet in a garage very close to a circuit panel with NO open slots available?

an electrician. you may have to upgrade your service if not you will need an additional box to accomodate the new breaker Assuming you meet local code and license requirements, and know how to shut things off while you're working: The full circuit panel may be a service panel or a sub-panel with main lugs only (no main disconnect). If it's a sub-panel you need to find the breaker that feeds it from the service panel (if any) to make sure it has enough ampacity to run your 220 appliance on top of whatever is there already. Assuming the breaker and feeder conductors will support the additional load, you can add another subpanel (or replace the existing subpanel with a larger one). If not, you can wire a completely new feeder from the service panel to a new subpanel (or just a 220 disconnect/fuse for your new appliance). If the wiring is old, the minimum disturbance to the existing wiring is recommended: put in a new circuit from the service panel. Some subpanels include extra main lug terminals for feeding other subpanels. Otherwise you can either add another tap to the main lugs and run them to the new subpanel, or else replace two of the existing breakers with a 2-pole breaker that feeds the new subpanel. Put the new 220 circuit into the new panel along with the two old circuits removed from the old full panel to make room for the subfeed breakers.

How should you upgrade 100A 240V service in a 4-bedroom home to put in a work shop which will have 45A 35A and 20A tools?

I would recommend at least a 200 amp service. and a subpanel in the workshop. This is not a DIY project. Contact a qualified electrician. Well, I guess it depends how many arms you have ... I can only usually run one power tool at once, so it depends on if you have help or not. You could power New York City on a 100 amp service if you only light one 60 watt bulb at a time ...

In the UK, you cannot put a 5 amp fuse in a 3 amp plug. The general rule of thumb is that you should use like for like.
