Hey All,
There was recently a thread about what's allowed regarding circuits/feeders between a detached garage and a home.
We started into a job today where they have built a detached office that we are running a feeder to. They also are asking about running from the detached office back underground to a possible car charger (240V), 240V table saw receptacle, and a 120V general purpose receptacle. All three of which would be mounted to a deck that doubles as a carport but IS ATTACHED TO THE MAIN HOUSE. That deck though is part of a larger deck "system" where there are wood stairs and an wooden boardwalk that also is connected to the new detached office. So essentially all of the deck space is shared by both the main house and the detached office.
My question:
Would you all consider the deck as part of the main house which would limit me to 1 circuit feeding back from the detached office (per NEC 225.30) or would it be a separate structure from the house, or would both buildings be considered the same house because they are connected via the decks?
Looking forward to your input. Thanks!
Rob
