:picard: Stop now before you burn your house down. It really doesn’t seem like you know what you’re doing.

I think 8 gage wire is correct, like I said, home depot or lowes.

Here are some tips to give you a fighting chance at not getting your family caught in a fire.

#1 Figure out how many amps your hot tub is going to draw.
#2 Purchase wire at Home Depot or Lowes that is rated for more than that many amps.
#3 Purchase a 220V double pole breaker that is rated LESS than the max capacity of your wire.
#4 Install the new breaker without getting zapped too many times.
#5 If you’ve managed to live this long, it is probably prudent to get someone to inspect your work.
#6 Try to reset the breaker. If it resets go to step #7, if it doesn’t go back to #5.
#7 Congratulations, you probably did it right. Enjoy.

I don’t know why you’re talking about pulling wire from the breaker to the main. The main comes in and connects to a solid bus bar. You connect circuit breakers to the bars.
