Wow, I didn't realize there were so many electricians on this forum.
Can I pick someone's brain?
I want to bury a line to my 2 (soon to be 3) shops. The first shop is about 200 feet away, next is 300 feet away.
I have installed a 100 amp square d panel in the one shop. It's the QO line, not homeline. I need to dig a ditch, bury conduit, and hire someone to tap in and pull the line through.
Should it be tied in at the electric meter? at my house panel? install another meter from the transformer?
Should I put a 200 amp panel in the first building, then run the line to that building, then use the 100 amp panel as a sub panel in the other building, with just a line from one building to the other, and then another separate line to the next building? The newest building being built will just have fluorescent lights and electrical outlets, not heat or anything else. So, can I then run a line from the 100 amp panel to the new building? What are the limitations on total use? Right now, I run building #1 on a single 60 amp breaker from my house panel, with a buried line that is maybe 10-3 or 8-3, I can't remember. I have an extension cord running across the driveway into building #2 to run one dusk to dawn light. I buried 2 inch gray pvc conduit in the concrete from the 100 amp panel and it has a 90 degree elbow with a plastic bag shoved in it, before I filled the hole.
I drew a picture.
What should I do?
