I'm running power to a shed, and have read a couple of times that you are not allowed to run any wires/conduit/etc through the same side of the main panel that the service enters from, in my case it's the top of my main panel.
I've searched through the 2012 canadian electrical code and can't find any mention of that anywhere.
Could someone point me to the sections of Canadian/Ontario relevant code(s) ?
as it stands right now, it looks like I have only two options for powering my shed.
1.) find 4ga, 4 wire cable that I can't seem to locate easily or locally, but I could probably get it if it came right down to it.
2.) run the conduit from my shed all the way along the joists to the top of my main panel.
The total run is under 25 feet I believe, 15 feet being inside the house and the sub panel in the shed has a 60a main breaker that I can't change out.
