Hi gang, I'm planning to run power to the shop (detached garage) and figured it would behoove me to get some input from the Shop-talk list. Our detached garage is about 150 feet from the panel in the

Additional trench with two empty conduits with pull strings? I think someone on this list once referred to that as "Cat1000". If you're already digging or have the trencher out there... And then: thr

Your idea sounds adequate, but what happens if you decide to run dust collection, or have a friend over? Maybe I'm just a power hog, but I think you're going to wish you had plumbed for 100A in the s

You might try contacting your local power co. and asking about separate service and meter for the garage. Some of them will install it for very little or no cost. -Wayne

My local co-op brought a separate service underground about 450' from the feeder to a transformer near my shop. All of that wire is theirs to maintain. I put a 200A service in the shop. I will never

Only one circuit for outlets in the garage? There should definitely be at least two. It is not a problem if the total amperage of all the circuit breakers exceeds the 60A input capacity. The generato

Howdy, Yep. Ditto a dedicated natural gas line, if that applies. I think these companies often understand that making the upfront install a little easier means years & years of monthly payments. :-)

You might want to check the code on that. Two different grounds can cause an induced current in the grounding conductor. That means the bare wire can be live. Not very live, but ISTR that it's not pe

I agree about checking. ISTR the rule was that a separate building could have its own ground rod, but that the neutral conductor should only be bonded to ground at the main entrance. So the outbuild

When I put in a sub panel, ground was from the house. It was only a 40' run, so that may have been the difference. Local codes may vary, so it is worth a call to the building permit people. Randall i

That sounds TOTALLY wrong. I flunked out of EE and am not a licensed electrician. But AFAIK, the neutral and ground should be "bonded" at ONE point and ONE POINT ONLY. A subpanel should have a separ

Nope. Subpanel in a detached structure requires a ground electrode. (That can be a ground rod, or other approved real earth ground.) See NEC 250.32. That's different from tying the safety ground and
