I am running a subpanel to a workshop near my house. I will run it from a 60amp breaker in my main panel, which is 200amp. I want to have at least 12 positions in my subpanel. I have seen a main breaker panel rated at 100amp, but it has a 100amp main breaker already installed. I found a main lug panel at Home Depot, but I am not sure if it will work for me. I need to have 220v capability. The description of the panel from Home Depot is:
**************************************************
Homeline 125 amp main lug load center. Single phase, indoor, NEMA Type 1 enclosure. Convertible to main breaker with a QOM1 main breaker. 20 spaces using Homeline breakers. Overhead/Underground feed. 2.5 inch maximum knock-out in both the top and bottom endwalls. Aluminum bus. 120/240 Vac. 22,000 maximum short circuit current rating. Combination cover factory included.
**************************************************
In my ignorance, I do not understand what the implication of "single phase" is. I need to run 6-3 with ground, which will have two 110v hot feeds, along with the common and gnd.
Please tell me if "single phase only" would restrict my usage.
Thanks
