I got 10ft of 1-1-1-4 SER to go from house panel to junction box in the crawl space. Then I got #1 AL xhhw to go from inside junction box, through the conduit into the shop panel. Thanks for the info guys!

Thanks for the info!I already installed both ground rods. They are 8ft apart. Really tough to pound into the hard as rock TN dirt! I used a #6 ground wire from panel to ground rods.

Exactly my thoughts. A little extra wont hurt. I've already went over my budget, whats a little more :lol_hitti

I was worried about a #1 AL fitting inside the breaker. Shouldn't have any problems?

Im ok with copper or AL, I just wanting 100 amps, not 90.

Yes I know another 100 amp sub panel thread :eyecrazy: Seems like everytime someone asks, it always derails into "just do 90 amp breaker with 2-2-2-4 AL. Well I want to feed my sub panel with a 100 amp breaker, not a 90. I've got access to a code book, but it's way too confusing for me to...

That's exactly what I'm gonna have to do. Can you post pics how you mounted your junction box?

I've got cinder block foundation right under my home panel. I would have to break up 2 or 3ft of cinder block. Don't want to do that. Wish I could figure out how to post pics off my phone.

I can run conduit through the crawlspace, but I cant 90 up into the house panel without major demo.

Good idea on the junction box. Thanks!

100 amp breaker

Ive got a 100 amp sub panel in my pole barn, 33ft from my house. I'm running 2" PVC 2ft underground from my crawlspace to the shop. There is absolutely no way to run 2" conduit into the house panel(feeder panel). So I'm thinking I will have to go from the feeder panel, along bottom of floor...

Your entire shop is ran off of an 80 amp circuit correct?

I just had my building built recently. Currently digging out to do gravel and concrete. Wish I would have done it before.

I'm not wasting somebodies time just so I can do something myself to save money.

My shop is completely built, now I need to work on the prep work to pour concrete. Should have done a lot of the prep work before the shop went up, but I'm a newb. I rented a skid steer and dug the dirt out to where I will have 4" or more of gravel with 4 or 5" of concrete. Is 4" of rock under...

The above is a thread from 2010 where I show what I did with along with others putting their solutions to the same subject. Now I'm still happy with the decision. As for the 100a to the shop that will work. Now adding the pools I don't know, how much power do they pull? That panel that I...

Just had a 36x50x14 pole barn built. Trying to decide what to do for power. 100 amp sub panel off the house or the shop have its own 200 amp meter. Price really isn't an issue as I plan to live here for a long time. Only small issue I have is 20 or 30 dollar monthly charge for shop meter. Not...
