I have decided to bite the bullet and run power to my 50x80 polebarn, figure after 7 years without, its time.Plan on having at least(12)240 volt 400 watt low bay lights (probably on three circuits so I dont have them all on at once if not needed).multiple 110 outlets on the perimeter walls,(1) dedicated 240 line for my 5 horsepower air compressor, maybe a few 120 circuits for fluoresent lighting,and (1) 240 line for a automotive style rotary lift.The way I see it I have two options.Run a line from the street and have a seperate service for the barn,which by code because its more than 100 feet from the road will require a utility pole(unless they allow under ground).Or run it from the house to the barn.The house currently has a 150 amp panel.Would a new replacement 200 amp panel be big enough to handle the load the barn is going to add? Thought we could use the houses 150 amp panel in the barn.I am also considering having a generator transfer swith installed at the same time the new 200 amp panel is installed.Currently we only use the barn a few hours a week,but with power the usage will increase.Thanks, Bill M.
