A new scoreboard for the soccer field was donated to the private school my children attend. It draws 3 amps at 120 volts. There is an empty conduit from the MDP I want to use to get into the building. The conduit is conveniently located near the soccer field. It was meant to be used for future lighting.
My concern is running a 120 volt, 20 amp multiwire circuit through this 480 volt switchgear. The engineer must have thought any outside ligthing would have 480 volts. Specifically I plan to install a 10-3 UF cable close to the available conduit. I assume the UF cable would not be permitted to enter the switchgear. I would make install direct burial cable through the underground conduit, unspliced through the switchgear, and then through a new conduit to a 120/208 volt panel. I would install a junction box to splice the two sets of water together outside the building.
I would appreciate your thoughts.
