  Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.

• My understanding is that you need a 60 amp breaker as you can only draw 80% of the rated amps...which is 48 amps on a 60 breaker

• No, too small, wire will overheat before the breaker trips, you COULD burn down your home. Upgrade to #6 copper.
