    So confused...wire size for 100 amp barn sub-panel 500 ft away

    At 100A and 3% voltage drop you will have to run dual AL 400MCM. This will give you a Max distance of 507' for the load. One thing is how far is the house panels from the power meter? The calculation above is based on 120VAC @ the 100A breaker. If the meter is not close to the breaker you...

    Fluorescent reflectors

    By using the SS roofing flashing you can create a bevel to direct the light down and out. SS bowls will focus down only and may make the light distorted. That is my $.02. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

    Nicely done. What is the bulb/light that you used? What was the cost of each light?

    LED Flood Lights

    Fluorescent reflectors

    I was looking at using SS flashing to reflect the light. It is not really high but I would think it would work the same way. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

    Wire sizing help

    210' at 60A with 2/0 AL will put you at 3.1 volts of drop or 2.58% for a end result of 116.9 VAC single phase. I would go larger if possible, for that just in case you want more later. With lights all on, large fan running, compressor running and a welder running you will be at 50-60 amps...

    Rural King LED shop lights

    I looked at them and they are lower lumens. They are 3200 instead of 4500 lumens. Price per lumens the Sam's ones are cheaper. However they may be cheaper made too. I have no experience with led shop lights. Led auto lights yes. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

    60 gal compressor?

    Has anyone used the Porter-Cable 3.7hp 60gal. 230vac compressor? I found one at Tractor Supply for $365 with the 15% discount. Is it worth anything? Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

    New install question for a newbie.

    I was more looking for input since I have no experience in this area. I have been eyeing SW Tile Clad too.
