I would like to run a 220 volt 100 amp service to my barn 120' away from my house. I am trying to figure out the best way to do this task. I have read a ton of info on adding these sub panels in a unattached building. Just trying make sure is done correctly.
@Cole2,
My guess would be grab some pipe wire single phase subpanel and a double pole double throw breaker : there you have it on load side. I am not sure if you can put a 100 amp breaker into the main panel. Probably end up replacing the main with a panel that is manufactured to feed a sub and handle more amps
@Cole2,
You would need to run pvc pipe from your main panel to a sub panel at lease 3 feet deep. Make sure your main panel that is probably rated 200 amps can handle additional loads first
@Cole2,
I wouldn't experiment with wires if I didn't know how to do it right. So, the electrician has no right to make a mistake.
