Wrong. Please familiarize yourself with the NEC before attempting to
answer electrical questions.

A 60A breaker is perfectly fine:

"Devices Rated 800 Amperes or Less. The next higher standard overcurrent
device rating (above the ampacity of the conductors being protected)
shall be permitted to be used, provided all of the following conditions
are met ..." [2005 NEC, Article 240.4(B)]

The conditions can be summarized as not a multiple-receptacle circuit, no
matching standard breaker, and next size up not 800A.

Mea Culpa. I was wrong on two points. Thanks for correcting me.

I will now slink off with my tail between my legs.


You got better treatment than I did from him.

If I offended you, I'm sorry - it was unintentional.
