Good morning,
I am trying to get a clear path to what is needed. So far I have 3 different suggestions from others and want to see what I get from here. I have a home in Texas and have built a separate building out back for band practice. From my main breaker in the house I will add a 100 amp breaker and then run wire to the music building to a 100 amp sub-panel. What I need to know is the correct wire type to use in underground conduit running about 95 ft. So far was:
Aluminum URD Dyke 2-2-2-4 Cable direct burial quadruplex secondary wire, then was #3 or #2 copper leads with #8 ground, and then finally #1 aluminum lead and #6 aluminum ground.
Just trying to get an opinion here as which is the best and the least costly as well. Getting all the info to determine before I buy it. Although the Alum URD type seems best since it all comes tied together, but what do I know....LOL
Thank you for any info and have a nice day
