I just built a new garage and want to run electricity to it. I've installed 6
circuits, using#12 wire. Each circuit contains outlets or lights. I will not be
running any heavy loads, and I figure I can easily use 15a ckt breakers. I plan
on installing a sub panel in the garage. Can you tell me the size I should get ?
I know it depends on how big the circuit is in my main panel. If for example I
have a 30a circuit available in my main panel, does that mean my 6 circuits
should not total more than 30 amps ? Or do I run a new line altogether ? Or
lastly maybe you'll suggest I get an electrician. Thanks a million. Bob
