At post # 36 with a Piggy-Back THREAD JACK similar question about 3/4" conduit.

Original post from 2012 . . . . . DIG IT UP for 6 ft and Do It Right w/ 2" conduit . . .
. . . . and MHF Al 2-2-2-4 for 90A.

New Post # 36 - - - Have you done LOAD CALC's to justify the effort of replacing wires in that tiny 3/4" conduit in attempt to get over 60A ??? Seriously doubt a homeowner shop 30 ft away from house "Needs" over 60A.

RE Post # 36: If it were me, I'd check with Sprinkler system company to horizontal bore 2 ft over from your existing 3/4" conduit that 30 ft for a new electrical run if you "must" have 100A. Back-pull wires out of old 3/4" conduit to instead have low-voltage like ethernet for internet/telco/security/phone along with RG6 for TV.
