I have seen a lot of questions on sub panels for remote shops. I just wanted to put all my information and see if what I’m planning is correct.
First the building will be a metal building.
First the building will be a metal building.
- The building is about 45 feet from the house.
- The plan is to run (3) #4 wires and (1) #6 for ground
- 2 Grounding rods that will be placed at least 6 feet apart.
- 60- or 70-amp breaker in the house to feed the sub-panel
- Currently it looks like it will (4) 110v breakers and (3) 220v breakers
- Add a main breaker at about $100
- Back feed a breaker with a hold down, about $50
- Return the panel and buy one with a main breaker
- Install a separate disconnect.
