I am installing a 100 amp, 230 volt single phase feeder to a 20 circuit outdoor panel. The connected load will be 1-2 hp, 230 volt motor - 12 amps, 1-3/4 hp 230 volt motor - 6.9 amps, 1-led light - .5 amps and 2 convenience outlets. Currently there are no definite plans for additional electrical load(s). I plan on using # 3 copper for the ungrounded conductors.
Questiion - Does the grounded conductor have to be "full size", or can it be derated. What code sections govern this type of installation?
