I have a 220v 60 amp disconnect box. How do I hook up the 6g, 4wire to the disconnect?

Am I right in this assumption,

- ground wires to ground lug on box
- white wires to line lugs on both in and out sides of the disconnect
- red wires to load lugs on both sides of disconnect
- black wires wired together with wirenut.

Thanks,
Bob

hello bob,
yes #6 wire is ok 4 60 amps.
as to hooking up the disconect the black and red from the panel go to the line lugs (lugs on top) and black and red to the load go on bottom lugs, whites wirenut together, and bares go 2 the ground lug.

Installing an ADDITIONAL Subpanel

on Feb 26, 2000

I'm finishing my basement and plan to run more circuits than what my current subpanel can handle. I know one way of solving the problem is by adding an additional subpanel off of the existing one. I've searched numerous locations for information and schematics describing how this should be done, but have come empty handed. Could somebody please describe how I should do this, or at least point me in the right direction (a web site, book, etc...). Thanks in advance for any help what so ever...
