I know Technically it is a Branch circuit. .
No it cannot be a branch circuit. Branch circuits cannot supply panels.
See the article 100 definition of branch circuit.
It is either a feeder or service conductors.
But can it be classified as a entirely Different service.
No, it cannot be classified as a service when it is supplied from another panel. A service can only be provided by the utility and that service stops at the first overcurrent device.
See the definition of 'service' in article 100.
It almost same situations. From a Pole to Service.
Kind of the same but different rules apply.
I am going to read this article more so I can Understand it clearly.
If you have a Line (copy & paste) in the Article 250.32 That is the definable wording. I like to See. Just like this book. Just the wording is confusing. Thank You.
Im trying to verify which sentence refers to this situation. I just read briefly.
In midst reading it entirely
You told us you are running a line from a temporary service panel to a subpanel. That being the case it is a feeder you are running and feeders must include an EGC, in your case you must have 2 hots, a neutral and a EGC. Four wires total, one can be bare.
This is not a maybe :happyno: and there is no way to code compliantly run less wires. A few code cycles back you might have been able to use the neutral as the grounding conductor but that allowance is gone.
Are you also aware you must install a grounding electrode system at the new sub panel location?
