Subpanel Feed
 
Hey guys.....running to get cable.....6/3 NM is good for my 60 amp subpanel right? All in the house, just 20 feet away from the main panel.

Thanks

Ok, so as you can see my main panels kind of full. Is it okay to bring my subpanel feed in through the bottom left corner and then just staple it up the plywood next of the box

How are you going to power your subpanel with a full panel now?

6/3 with ground is ok ....:) It's good for 55 amps but you can use a 60 amp breaker since there is no standard 55 amp breaker.

K, how about running the cable through the side?

That's fine as long as you don't put a real sharp bend in it. Looks like you have the clearance necessary to come in from the side.

Since you weren't running the wire in conduit I was wondering how you were doing it.:whistling2:

Why would he have to use conduit unless he's in Ill. Unless there's other areas that require it in the states as well. I don't get where your going with this either lol. 6/3 to subpanel and new circuits to replace the circuits he's taking out to make room for the sub feed. Seems ok to me.
