Cut down a garage with a triple shingle roof. Still g.oing strong

Yes. Running 90A breaker to 100A sub.

Thank you sir. I appreciate the info.

Hello again. I'm ready to hook the main panel to the sub panel. Is there a certain order to hook up the hots to the circuit breaker in the main panel and a certain side to hook the hots to? Sorry if I'm not clear. I want to know if the "black" hot goes on the top half of the breaker in the...

Yes. They said one time only. I told them I appreciated it greatly and I didn't make a habit of doing it.

Just got the correct wire. Using a junction box, then SER inside. Thanks for all the help guys.

Is running panel to panel with MHF "better" than using a junction box? Any negatives to a junction box? It would make it easier for me, but I want to do the job right.

I do have a permit. That's the kicker. What's the best way,electrically, to run it? USE wire all the way with conduit inside, or use both types with the junction? Thanks again.

Well, that stings... Good news if there is any is I didn't pull it yet. I guess I'll have to get that from a supply house. Thanks for all the info guys. Any feelings on Lowe's letting me return it?

I bought the cable at Lowes. Printing on the cable says 3 CDR AWG 2,1 CDR AWG 4,Type SE cable,SER type XHHW-2 CDRS. No color stripes. All 4 wires in gray jacket. Thanks for your help.

I have service cable that is rated for wet and underground use. It is able to be direct buried, but I ran conduit for safety. I thought that conduit may be required, but if not, it makes my job easier.

Hey guys, I'm running 2-2-2-4 Al. cable from my main to a subpanel in my detached garage. I have 2"conduit running underground from the subpanel to the house. I have the cable coming through my basement wall waiting to go to the main. Do I have to run the cable in conduit to the main box...

Thanks again. I appreciate it. I'm laying the conduit now and will be wiring my pole barn with 60A service in 100A panel. 130' run. I can still upgrade to 90A service in the future with the 2-2-2-4 if necessary,correct? Thank you.

Will I be able to run 2-2-2-4 MHF in 2" conduit with one sweep successfully? Or should I use single wires? Also, does it matter what end I start at? The sweep is 5 feet from the end of a 100' run. Thanks

Thanks Wylie

Is the MHF rated for wet location? I'm running mine in conduit under ground then into building and must be rated "W". Thanks
