Have a old house with a 100 amp fuse panel with 2-50 amp fuses in it. I want to hook up a jumper panel with circuit breakers but I am no sure how many and what type of wiring I need to run from the fuse box to the new box for the main power. I want to run 4 breakers of 15 amps each in the new box

ok,i'm assuming you're planning on adding a subpanel using the 50 amp circuit to feed it from these two 50 amp fuses. that being the case,use a #6 copper wire to feed the sub.

umm ... if your going to that much trouble .. why not just replace the old box and start new with the updated breaker version ?? and use the main power coming in .. that way you would be able to run better wiring in the house and update the plugs and wiring slowly as you expand your existing wiring
