Thank you. Yes, it is not hard to move a circuit to sub and feed from main box. My original plan was to just use conduit the whole run just exploring options. Not sure how to even do the sizing calculations with the j/b

I posted the following a few years ago but life got in the way and never actually did the work. I am doing it now. I have a question, I believe THWN must be in conduit (even indoors ?), this is accurate? I am running the feed from my main panel under my basement, and really do not want to hang...

Thank you, I thought the same thing the hot prongs on the male side make the “suicide” cord. That is why seems strange previous individuals used the correct inlet. Already picked up the components you mentioned, was exactly what I planned 🍻

Already have the interlock, just need to move things around in box. Also not planning on running 6/3 wire for the 50 amps, will use a short run in barn in spring and use that for a welder outlet. Thanks for the input!

I completely agree. Did not understand why everything seems to be up to code but no interlock. Only thing I can think of is box was too full and did not want to move breakers???

There is a pic of similar of what is installed. I agree I think I will be all right as long as I don’t backfeed the generator, which I have no plan to do

Okay. So I bought a house. In the garage there is a Male 14-30r outlet, for a genset. Correct receptacle and 30 amp wire running to a 30 amp breaker. However, there is no interlock. I have an interlock and will install. In the mean time, I have a welder, with a 6-50p. I need to some welding, the...

Next question. I am doing this by pulling a permit and everything is all on the up and up but since I am running the lines, is there a way to use the same lines to to run a generator and feed my main panel ? I would have to put in a switch (interlock or transfer) at the main I know that much...

I really appreciate the advice. I planned on using Al but the Cu was basically given to me so I went that way. I also planned on putting 2 grounding rods at the sub in the barn (I think NEC is greater then 6' away from each other) Tie the grounds into the the ground bus that is isolated from...

This is a great forum, my first post. I am going to be installing electrical in my pole barn about 150 ft from house. I have a 200 amp service panel that is full in house with a sub panel next to it. The sub panel is empty so I wanted to feed my barn with it. I am running 100 amps 240V to the...
