Is it possible for a new member to post a couple pics here? They may be worth a couple K words. I can then reply to you 2manyprojects with few explanations. I'll make a quick reply on the last point for clarification. If I feed the sub panel from the basement, it would be fed off the 120a...

When you said running 2 sets instead of one, you meant running the cable thru the same 1 1/2" greenfield, as opposed to running it directly from the main panel in it's own conduit? Is that acceptable to run it into and straight out of a sub panel without connecting it to the panel itself, just...

Thanks for taking so much time to post such a clear explanation, and yea, was dyslexic using GFIC, sorry. You're right, it hasn't been installed yet, and the thought process of doing the way I planned was that one 50 GFCI (almost did it again!) is a bit less expensive then to buy 2 240 and 2 120...

I intentionally chose the GFIC specifically because I thought it would provide a bit of safety for the entire structure. I could always just have used a normal 50a disconnect, but thought this would be...

Not exactly sure, drills, maybe saws, battery charger, blower for the wood stove, lights, 120v heater for lead casting, nothing terribly exciting now, but like to future proof when practical. I asked because I thought I remembered that you weren't supposed to with a GFI, it would cause issues...

I am in the process of getting my service to my house upgraded from 200 to 400 amp, which is happening in conjunction with my solar array install. Once this...

Hehe yeah, well... Close, at least, Donchaknow? And we're the furthest north point in the lower 48, so that has to count for _something_... ;) Thanks for the welcome, glad I found it. So much to read, so little time to read it in. Just taking a little me time to catch up here after spending...

Just stumbled across this forum as well, lots of great info here! Will be a wealth of knowledge, just need the time to read up.
