60 amp aluminum wire size generator#
However, those forbidden spaces can be used for a generator interlock, if you had any thoughts to that. You won't be able to have any breakers across from the main breaker because the stabs can only carry 125A, and the main will absorb it all. At that point you will hit stab limits on the stabs that the main breaker is clamped to i.e. You will need the 2 spaces if you upsize the main panel's main breaker to 125A, but then, you'll also need a 60A feed breaker at that point. You can just grab the subfeed lugs at the top of the panel. Since your main is the same rating as your subpanel feeder, you don't actually need a feed breaker in the main panel. I gather your breaker in the upper left corner of the main panel, yes? Your breaker is back-fed, and is 60A. Any reason to stick with 8 AWG? The ground wire will support the 60 AMP panel plus two separate 15AMP circuits in the same conduit (or one 20AMP circuit instead). Ground wire: Currently, I have 8 AWG but I am thinking using 10 AWG instead.I guess, an alternative might be to use the right and left neutral bar for neutral and ground by disconnecting them but that creates problems with pigtails of afci breakers. All looks good? I don't like that there is not a lot of space around the ground bar. Sub-panel: No bounding screw, I installed a separate ground bar (GE TGK32CP), converted to main breaker panel (with GE TQMH000).Main panel: location of neutral and ground wires for sub-panel is correct, right? They go to the same neutral/ground bar because they are connected on the main.The wires are THHN and go through 3/4’’ EMT and FMC over about 40'.
The pictures show the main panel (currently 60AMP as well but will be updated next year 100AMP or 125AMP), the sub-panel and all the planed wires (hand drawn). I am installing a 60 AMP sub-panel (GE TLM2412CCUP) and want to confirm the wiring and set-up before I set everything up.
