C Cow Senior Member Location Eastern Oregon Occupation Electrician Nov 8, 2011 #6 PVC is cheap, derating is not. I'd run a 3/4" just for the switch.
Dennis Alwon Moderator Staff member Location Chapel Hill, NC Occupation Retired Electrical Contractor Nov 8, 2011 #7 I will say again-- yes you can. I will add that you may have issues with 225.30 but generally that is overlooked. Just install the switch next to the main disco at both buildings.

In that case I will say again, the required de-rating will kill the ampacity of the feeder. I will add that you may have issues with 225.30 but generally that is overlooked. Click to expand... And here I was assuming the OP came here for NEC advice.
