I am relatively new to electrical contracting and I am doing my first residential basement finishing project installing a 100A sub panel to feed the load. I am wanting to install SE wire from the main to the sub panel. I have looked in 338.10 for installation requirements. In 338.10(A)(4)(a) it points me back to part II of 334.
My total load is only 51A. My questions are:
1) Is #4 SE cable overkill for this installation? It is 70' of wire and voltage drop looks good.
2) 334.10 seems to say I do not have to install it in conduit. Is that correct?
I appreciate any responses because I just want to make sure I get this to code with no issues.
