Thanks for all the replies and Great conversation...

Just out of curiosity, why is an isolated neutral required in a subpanel and an egc.?

I will definitely install two grounding rods and run four wires. Also install a subpanel with an isolated neutral. This should satisfy code, correct? Thanks again for the info fellows.

Thanks for the info guys. So what I'm getting out of this is that if I run 4 wires to my new garage with an isolated neutral in my subpanel with two ground rods and leave the service to my house the way it is, I should be alright? We don't have any inspections out here as long as the building is...

As far as changing the breaker in the house to 100 amps, I thought it would be the best thing to do since I'm running a 100 amp service out to my garage. The meter pedestal is rated for 200 amps. Didn't think that I should have two main breakers off my pedestal combined to be 300 amps. I'm quite...

I plan on running power from my free standing meter pedestal to a new garage. It will be 100 amp service. This meter powers my house also. It is a 200 amp meter. There is room for another breaker in the meter. It will be a shorter and easier run by doing this and that was suggested when I buildt...

Thank you sir.

Thanks for the reply. I do plan on using copper, I didn't think I had to pull a ground wire with the current carrying conductors as long as I ground my service at the garage end. Which I plan on doing. I did read those other posts about 100 amp garages, but there is a lot of contridicting going...

I'm building a garage and I'm running power to a 100amp panel in the garage. My garage is being feed from a 200 amp panel from my house. I'll be running copper wire in conduit under ground 150 feet. What size copper wire should be used according to NEC. Considering voltage drop and conduit under...
