Im about to run the feeders to a 100 amp sub panel in a detached garage. I already roughed in the garage and got it inspected. The next inspection will be for the finish and feeders. This is my plan...
Coming out of the main 200 amp panel, I will run #2 ser to the opposite corner of the house, where the underground run will begin. Before I go outside, the ser will enter a 16" junction box (8x the largest conduit 2") either between the floor joists or on the wall. I will crimp the SER conductors to single #2 conductors then wrap them with rubber and then tape. The single conductors will exit the 16" j-box in 2" PVC with a short stub through the wall, straight into a LB outside, straight into an expansion fitting and the ground. 90 over,get to the garage, 90 up, expansion fitting, and an LB maybe 3 feet off the ground straight into the back of the flush mounted panel.
Critique? any ideas or comments? This is your chance to complain about how other people do stuff
I can't think of a way to do this without a splice. I've never worked with a 16" junction box before, nor have I ever spliced #2. Should I just put in a disconnect instead of a junction box? My 40 hour weeks consist of roughing 2 residential houses, so I figured I'd run it by the experts first. Thanks!
