Breaker Capacity
Hi. I'm Jeff and I live in Albuquerque, NM in a house built in 1957. I'm installing a new 60 AMP auxiliary service panel. I want to add some extra breakers. How can I determine how much all the breakers can add up to?

Welcome to the forums!
Why do you want to add the 60A panel? What loads will you be supplying from it?
Doing a Residential Load Calculation for those loads will tell you how large a subpanel you need.

Hey Nashkat1. Thanks. I'm actually not adding one but replacing one that run off a 100 amp service panel. The service panel will be used to The reason why I want to replace it is because I need more breakers so I can split up some of the circuits in the house. We have too many appliances running off one 20 amp breaker. Ray2047, thanks. That's what I thought but wanted to double check.
