Outlet/light pole for yard and Outlet in chicken coop

[checkthisout]

So I had an excavator here so I dug some trenches.

I put a 14/2 (direct bury) in conduit and ran it out to where I want an outlet and a motion light on a pole.

I'll protect this with a gfci breaker, in use cover etc.


It's 150' away from the house and I want to put the same 14/2 in conduit and have an outlet inside the structure.

Does this need to be protected at the structure or can I protect with only a breaker back at the panel. If I have to put in a subpanel I'll probably just put an outdoor outlet next to the coop and continue using extension cords.

At best, can I mount the outlet to the coop on the outside or would it have to be on a post not attached to the structure?

Why didn't you run 12/2 at that length?

Is this the only power in the chicken coop?

What do u plan on running on this circuit?

At a 10a load, the voltage drop will be significant!

Yes. Nothing more than a single fluorescent tube during winter and a 250W heat lamp whenever we hatch baby chicks.

It currently has some LED strip lighting and a spotlight I was running off a 12V transformer and 3 100FT extension cords (and the heat lamp at certain times).

1) Cost and simply don't need more than about 600 watts out there.

2) Yes.

I guess what I'm after.

Do I have to have disconnects and grounding at the coop or can I simply run the wire to coop and into an outlet and switch and be in code?

You are fine with the single 120V circuit out to the pole without having a subpanel and grounding at the pole. The circuit protected back at the source panel by a gfci breaker is all you need.
