How should the feeder wires to a subpanel from the main panel ideally be protected?

Sub panel feeder wires are run just the same as any of the circuit wiring in the house. The sub panel is just another load circuit. Make sure that the correct wire sizing is done to feed the sub panel. It can be run behind wall board. If run on the bottom of the floor joists it is best to nail a board to the underside of the joists and then staple or strap the cable to it. If it is below the five foot level from floor grade and on the surface it must be mechanically protected until it rises above the five foot level.

What size wire should be used from main panel to 50 watt subpanel?
#6 wire is needed. If placing the subpanel in a garage at a good distance, it is recommended to also install a seperate ground rod .
Do you need a grounding rod at a subpanel on a detached building?
Yes. The panel must be grounded with its own grounding rod. The ground will not be provided with the feeders to the panel, these will only contain your phase wires and neutral. Also make sure that any subpanel installed does not have the neutral bonded to ground. This should only be done at the main panel where the electrical utility service is connected.
Example of ideal constant-current source?
A current source ideally should be with an internal impedance of 0 zero. So even if the output is zero volts current can flow.
Should all three phases of 3 phase motor are to be equal on no-load and load conditions?
Ideally all three phase currents will be equal. There may exist some voltage imbalance from the power source, which will result in unequal currents.
How do you convert a single breaker box with a 220 amp breaker supplying a hot tub to a 110 volt 30 amp breaker supplying an outlet?
: Replace the main panel breaker feeding the subpanel with a 30 amp breaker if it is currently larger (50A typical). Then you should be able to change your subpanel's 2 pole breaker to a couple of single pole 30A breakers. Use one of the single 30's for your 30A receptacle.: : : : IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOB : SAFELY AND COMPETENTLY : REFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS. : If you do this work yourself, always turn off the power at the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work AND always use an electrician's test meter having metal-tipped probes (not a simple proximity voltage indicator) to insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.
How do you wire into the main power supply when installing a 50 amp electrical box for a small shop?
Ideally you need two open breaker locations adjacent to each other. Install a 2-pole breaker to supply 120/240 volts. Rating of breaker should 50 A to subpanel. Do not bond neutral and ground in the subpanel.

How do I add new circuits to an 100 watt electrical box from the 1970'sIt has two open slots on the bottom and should I add a subpanel or upgrade the whole box I am disabled and have ltd resources?
It depends on what you are adding for a load. There is nothing wrong with what you have, but if you have more than two circuits to add, a subpanel is your answer if the loads are lighting or other small stuff. Pricewise and ease of installation equals a subpanel. If adding larger loads, an upgrade to 200 amps is necessary.
