What size circuit breaker should the secondary distribution box have

What size circuit breaker should the secondary distribution box have

To determine the size of the breaker, you can use the following formula: Total Load (amps) = Number of Circuits x Circuit Amps For example, if you have a subpanel with five 20-amp circuits, the total load would be 100 amps (5 circuits x 20 amps). Choosing the right size and setup for your distribution box keeps your electrical system safe and working well.
