You must increase the wire thickness if you intend to use aluminum wire. The appropriate size for a 60-amp breaker is between 6 AWG to 4 AWG (American Wire Gauge).Īs mentioned above, licensed electricians recommend using a wire size between 6 gauge to 4 gauge. You might wonder about calculating wire size, especially if you want to add more circuits to your home. What Wire Size is Needed for a 60-Amp Breaker? When wiring a 60-amp 220v breaker, licensed electricians often use a 4 AWG wire size gauge for extra security, but a 6 AWG wire can handle the load.

60 AMP SUB PANEL FOR GARAGE INSTALL

To wire 60 amps, do you need to install a new subpanel?.What wire size (wire gauge) do you need for a 60A breaker?.We will walk through the following when adding a new or updating an existing 60 amp circuit:

60 AMP SUB PANEL FOR GARAGE HOW TO

Knowing how to wire 60 amps is essential, no matter the project. Maybe you are adding a sub panel, appliance circuits, or replacing an old 60-amp circuit breaker box. That’s more than enough for a daily top off for me.There will come a time when you need a 60 amp wire size for some electrical work. I should be able to get roughly 20miles of range per hour per car if they’re both plugged in and over 40 miles/hr for just one. I would like to do 100A but I have too many other appliances running that would most likely trip the whole house which is what I’d want to avoid. Just so that the wiring is there and so I can charge some other kind of ev if someone comes over and needs some juice, but I’ll leave the breaker shut off til then and just run the 1 Tesla connector for now at 48a. I’m going to wire for 60A main sub to 2 60A breakers in garage and install 1 gen 3 and a nema 14-50 where I’d want a second Tesla connector to go for now. That’s fine because I plan on installing a breaker box in the garage.

60 AMP SUB PANEL FOR GARAGE UPDATE

Thanks for the helpĪh okay you’re right so it looks like the gen 2s do load balancing by daisy chaining to each other and manages that way but the gen 3s will load balance over WiFi in a future update and need their own dedicated circuit. Would I need a 100a breaker with #4 for this or am I safe with just using a 60a breaker with #6? Sorry for my inexperience but I just want to make sure I’m not missing anything or if there’s a better solution I’m not seeing. But I believe I want a maximum of 60a from either charger individually or both combined together.

Reducing to 30 amp breakers would limit the charger where I wouldn’t be able to get full capacity from plugging in only 1 car I believe? I will have to check on my utility transformer but I don’t think I want 120a of continuous load? Also I have no idea where my transformer is so I’ll have to call the utility company and ask them. I basically want to be able to use up to 60 amp if only 1 car is plugged in or split the 60 amp if two cars are plugged in. I wouldn’t need much more than 20mile/hr charging ability and I believe I can reduce the rate the chargers are able to charge manually so they act like 30a chargers. But I’m not certain so this is where I am getting confused. So I believe the Tesla chargers are load balancing and can charge split at <30amps if both are plugged in or if only 1 is plugged in, it will charge at its max 48amps. I’ll have to check the kva rating as I didn’t look into that. Thanks for the reply I appreciate the info. EV chargers on undersized transformers can cause voltage drop for the rest of the house And lastly, the utility transformer, they can normally take non-continuous overload, but if you’re adding an extra 120A of loads to your house, in addition to the other circuits in your house, make sure the kVA rating is at least 20, You can see on the side of the transformer. you’ll have to get an electrician to install a 100 amp breaker and at least #4 SER wire between the main panel and the sub panel if you want to use two 60 amp chargers at the same time.

If you want to use to charge both at the same time, you will have to use two 30 amp chargers and change the outlets and breakers to 30 amp, and they will charge at half the speed. If you have a sub panel with 2 60 amp circuits, being fed by a 60 amp circuit from the main panel, the maximum current that subpanel can put is 60 A, you’ll have tripping at the first breaker if you try to charge both at the same time.
