A couple more questions: I’m going to come out of my main panel thru the only available large knockout that is dead center. I was thinking of using a sweeping 90 to go down to the point of exit and land the conduit under my deck to run over to a point I can install an LB and go down in the...

Thank you.

Does anyone know what this little gizmo is? Some kind of transformer? I am cleaning up things in the bottom of my main panel in preparation for running power out to the sub panel. Here is how this thing is connected. Neutral lands on the neutral bar. One wire from it goes to a wire nut in the...

What about stranded THHN. (3) 4 gauge for conductors and neutral with a 6 gauge ground? What size conduit? 1.25”?

50' Aluminum URD **** 2-2-2-4 Cable Direct Burial Quadruplex Secondary Wire https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BRJQ8L58/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Sorry. It’s this stuff. Just watched a video where a guy ran this for his sub panel.

What about this stuff?

How is that stuff to pull thru conduit? I looked at some on a spool the other day at Lowe’s and it seems like it would be very difficult to work with. If it’s easy to work with I would go that route.

They are getting started today.

Hand power tools, grizzly contractors table saw (25 years old). Router table. Dewalt 12.5” planer. Small drill press. No jointer yet. No dust collection yet. Will heat it with a gas hanging furnace. Plan to do LED lighting. It will be a hobby workshop.

Best compact 3/8” battery impact I have ever used. I use it a ton

Mostly I used them on fittings. They do come in handy for bolts in certain limited space situations. Mostly now I use the 17mm and 18mm for injector lines (Mercedes sprinters and chevy Duramax) my SAE ones are snap on. My metrics are expert brand bought from my Mac guy.

Thank you.

Would stepping up to #4 for hots and neutral and #6 for ground get me 80 amps? My run will be probably 40 ft.

I think I’m gonna stick to 60 amp. #6 for two hots and neutral then #8 for the ground running in 1” pvc panel to panel. What size copper solid from sub panel to electrodes in the ground. 2 electrodes 6’ apart. What size electrodes?

What wire did you pull for that? I’m not opposed. The building goes up next week. Just been rolling it around in my head.
