what in the world are you running? 60 amps is a lot of heat.

no doubt. this is for my art studio. here's a partial list:

electric griddle 12A

1 - 20A breaker

electric griddle 12A

1 - 20A breaker

heat stripping gun 12A

1 - 20A breaker

1 or 2 space heaters 12A each

2 - 20A breakers on 2 separate duplex outlets

A/C in summer 8A

1 - 20A breaker

computers 4A or more

1 - 15A breaker (and you want this separated from other stuff except
maybe room lights)

tools 15A


1 - 20A breaker w/ two duplex outs so you dont have to keep unplugging
them.

this wouldn't all be on at the same time, but the griddles, stripping
gun, computers, and an A/C or heater would be on any time i want to do
encaustic (wax-based) painting

Total 7 - 20A breakers and 1 - 15A breaker.
I'd add one more breaker w/ an outlet for a spare.

This isn't rocket science, just a lot of wiring.

You can always plug a small hand tool like a drill into the same
outlet as the griddles. Like I said, keep the computer on it's own
breaker other than some lights. Power tools can cause issues with a
computer.
