It does not have the spot at the top to install a 60Amp main breaker. I was told I didn't need one - if I want to shut off power when in the garage, I could shut off all the breakers. Any thoughts?
Put the 60a breaker in your main panel in your house. Run the #6 to the lugs in your sub panel. Seperate the grounds and neutrals in the sub panel. If you want to shut off power in the garage, simply turn off the circuit breakers in the garage.
I run 12/3 Romex, you might use the black for outlets and the red for lights. This way if you trip a breaker from plugging something in, the lights will still work. And using 12/3 cuts the neutrals and grounds in half, sort of neating up the panel.
