do I need a subpanel in a garage

[ryandumas28]

I have a detached garage and the boss wants a lighting circuit and a recpetacle circuit there will only be 3 receptacles 3 lights nothing else. I say we need a disconnect because there will be more than one circuit. The boss says no we don't any code reference

You always need a disconnect, 225.31, what you wont need is a ground rod.

You may use a multiwire branch circuit for your two circuits without a panel.

Dicsconnect it with a two pole switch.

Which goes along with 250.32 (A) Exception quite nicely...

You must use a mwbc if you don't install a panel and have 2 circuits.

Welcome to the Forum

.....I might be repeating someone so bear with me.

This place has strange acoustics.

If you don't believe me just listen to me play my guitar. Yikes.

I think the the one thing not talked about that its the BOSS, that needs this done!
And I think the one employee suggestion of the week, is it to start saying, "Well boss, When...?!" &/or "We ain't, left yet..."
