    Subpanel feeder breaker size?

    This is a solar tie in generating 22 amps max current, hence the 25a/2p breaker on the subpanel but is there any reason the breaker feeding the subpanel has to be an 80a/2p? Can it be a 50a/2p? Attachments IMG_0010.jpeg 514.6 KB · Views: 2

In this outbuilding I just want to have some lights, a small music radio/clock, and a receptacle for very occasional use of a power tool (such as a circular saw).

    6 swipe main shut off - overload code?

    Good afternoon - we're considering adding an additional breaker to our "main service panel" which is where the meter is located. That panel has 6 slots (I guess 12) with 5 double breakers currently. One breaker is 90 amps which feeds our interior panel which has lights, cook top, A/C condensing...

    Just getting ready to wire up this 100 amp subpanel., The subpanel is being fed from the meter base, not the main panel in the house. It doesn't look to me like the feed coming in at the meter base is bonded. I know we don't normally bond a subpanel because the main panel is normally bonded. So...
