frodo,
the 'code loop' would go 310.16>>>>110.14(C)(1)(a)>>>>240.3(B) with regards to 240.6

thanks sparky.
i looked at all the articles you mentioned and feel that a 60A breaker would be allowed.
thanks for the help

Look at Sections 339-4 and 339-5 for correct references for the wiring method you describe.

joe,
thanks for the reference. does this mean that you do not agree?
i dont have my 1999 code book handy but i will look it up as soon as i get my hands on it.
i see this section was either changed or moved for 2002.
the jurisdiction for this installtion uses the 1999 code.
thanks again

I agree, just wanted to add more to the "loop" by Sparky.
The 2002 NEC now includes the rules in old Article 339 as Article 340, and they are still the same.
