Good morning everyone, I have a 6/3 NMWU wire I like to hook up from my main panel to the sub panel. The wire goes through my crawl space 50 feet not buried then into a pvc pipe 2 feet underground 20 feet then to my sub panel. I have a plasma cutter that operates 44 amp 230v single phase and a compressor 15am 120v nothing else. I know the 6/3 wire is good for 55 am but I can’t find that breaker for my main panel. I was wondering if it’s ok for me to put a 60 amp breaker at my main to feed the wire. I have a 100 amp breaker at my sub panel and 50 amp breaker for my plasma cutter and 15 amp for the compressor. The total length is 70 feet wire. Thanks everyone
