Here’s my situation:
I’m going to have a 100 amp subpanel installed in my detached garage (for primarily woodworking). The run will be about 125 feet from the main panel (200 amps). The wire will need to travel about 26 feet underground in conduit….So here’s my questions:
1. What size wire?
2. I suppose this should be a 3 wire–correct?
3. I suppose this should be exterior grade since it will be traveling underground–correct?
Although I’m a reasonably competent DIY’R, in all likelihood I will not be doing this myself. I do, however, like to know what is going on for quality control purposes, costs, etc.
Thanks in advance of your answers.
