I have been asked to run a circuit to an out building in order to power a small upright freezer, a large air compressor, power outlets and two light fixtures plus an outside light.
When I went to home depot I found a six breaker panel for inside.
I believe I should put the air compressor on a breaker by itself - 15 amp.
The freezer outlet, another power outlet will go on a breaker.
The outside light and 8 foot shoplight with the other two power outlets are going on a breaker.
In a bedroom, which is approximately 50 feet from the out building is the main panel connected to the meter. There is one space for a breaker, however the top lugs are not being used because instead they brought the SE feeders to a double breaker at the bottom right.
What would be wrong with moving those to the bus lugs and running the conductors to the out building from the double pole breaker which now receives the SE Feeders?
Another item I plan to do is have the owner turn on some appliances and take amp readings. What should the readings be for this service and when should it be upgraded?
