Thanks Bud yours is coming along nicely too
First have to see what you have going to your main. Then that is going to be your limiting factor. The path from your Main panel to where the sub panel is going what does that look like? Is the garage connected to the house ? Or detached ? I would say a 100 amp panel would be a good starting point for a 6k watt. A rule of thumb with electrical it's better to have more power than no enough. Interested in your layout. Have any plans/prints drawn up yet? Or is it all in the head still ?
Thanks!! all I have to do is get that power ran. My back is killing me time to medicate.
Yea I hear digging trenches is great for the back. haha.
Everything is still completely in my head. But if I get a chance this weekend I will draw out some basic blueprints and throw them up here.. I am actually not even living in a place where I could pull it off currently, so that really limits my planning. Plus anything is at least six months off. I recently got a new job that will allow for a change of scenery, so I figured more space why not more watts? Seemed logical. haha.
But with that little amount of detail, when you say I would have to see what is running to your main, that is your limiting factor, what do you mean? I'm guessing that my main panel only has so many amps running to it?
I will try and snap a picture of the main panel of where I live now just so that I can get an idea of what to be looking for/what I am looking at..
