What is the minimum service size(in amperes) that can be installed for a non residential building? I have a stand alone garage that is being left on a piece of property and the house is being demolished. The garage originally fed from the house at 120/240V 1 phase 40 amp. Is this governed by the poco or by the code? I know the min for a dwelling is 100A, but don't know about an indv building. Thanks.

According to part (A) if you only have one branch circuit it can be 15 amps.

Even for 15 amp single circuit or 30 amp two circuit?
Yup, metering compartment for UG or OH, main breaker & distribution section, this is a 100A model.
I doubt anyone could assemble the parts & pieces cheaper.

That depends what country they are in:happyyes:
Some customers that think they are going to supply all materials also think it is possible:rant:

If you have to install a service it cannot be much more money to make it a 60 amp minimum.
