Re: detattched garage-main breaker?
Every remote building or structure requires a disconnecting means except for a 3 way to residential out building. The disconnecting means can be up to six switches or circuit breakers.
Its much easier to install a single main breaker and backfeed it with the retaining clip. the size of a service depends on the number of circuits. Art 225 gives the sizes, my code book is put away at the moment.
