    Subpanel fed from single conductor

    - at SP(b) no EGC in the MHF, just 2 hots & neutral .that neutral bonded to GEC & rod, along with all branch neutrals & ends - based on the trench of the new gas line to the new tankless water heater, its likely they comprised the MHF feeder to SP(b). 95% of the time its just LED shop lights...

    Subpanel fed from single conductor

    So my shop electrical plan is a 100A sub fed with 1.5" thru my slab. I'll also have atleast 4 - 1" sch40 back into slab going to determined locations on each of the 4walls. These will be the main feeds for those walls into a JB that I'll go to EMT or MC for which ever circuit. I'm thinking...
