I currently have an 200amp panel with 20 spaces which are all used. I am looking to expand using an subpanel for the future finish basement and other outside projects. I was looking at a 125amp panel that has 8 spaces but can have 16 circuits. My question is what size breaker will I need to put in the main panel to feed the subpanel and what size wire should I use? Thanks for help.
