I am currently renovating a home built in the 40's. I have a detached garage that currently houses a well pump connected to an old screw-in type fuse box. I would like to bring power to the garage by upgrading my main panel in the house to a 200 amp and use the old 125 amp (currently in the house) as a sub panel in the garage. My question is what type of cable would you suggest for the run (about 50 feet) and what size breaker would I need to connect to in my main panel? I will need (2)220 circuits and (2)110 circuits in the garage. Any advise would be great. Thanks!
