In wiring a detached garage from the service of a residential home, does the rating of the feeder disconnecting means have to correspond to 15,30 or 60 amps, or can I have one that is in line with the load calculation. Also can I use a panel at the garage with 6 breakers for the branch circuits as my disconnting means without a main disconnect? Thanks

Re: detached garages
230.79 (Service Ratings) doesn't apply to the garage, because it's not a service, it's a outside feeder or a seperate building or structure.
The 6-handle rule applies only to your service at the house. The garage doesn't have a service, it has a panel. 42 handle rule.
