My CSP should arrive tomorrow so I am trying to plan out what all I need to buy. I already have a 100 amp sub panel in my garage that is for my wood working tools. I have a bunch of left over 3/4 EMT from a previous project. Based on both of those factors I was planning on using a 60amp breaker to power the CSP (derating it to 48amp). The run will be ~38 feet in total. I thought I had read another thread here that #6THHN would be sufficient for both hots in this scenario. I can't find the original thread I saw that in so is that correct? Was also planning on running the same size ground, unless smaller is sufficient in this scenario.
In theory the panel could support an 80amp breaker (assuming I am not charging and using tools at the same time), but I thought the increased wire size wouldn't work in my 3/4 EMT, is that correct?
Thanks all.
