Hi, I currently have a 50A 220v breaker installed in my carport, which I would like to upgrade to a 60A. The reason for this is the compressor I'm looking at is 10HP and uses 44 amps. I guess I thought I was putting in the biggest outlet I could when I put it in a few years ago, but I was wrong. Anyways, would it be as simple as swapping out the 50 amp breaker in the main fuse panel and the 50 amp in the subpanel outside for 60 amp breakers? Would I have to change the wire also? I believe I have 6/3G wire right now.
Thanks, Michael
