My service/meter is at the road on my property. There is a 200 amp disconnect in my side of the meter. My home is wired to it 500ft away. I am wanting to run service about 275 ft to my driveway for a gate, lights cameras and whatever else I might want in the future. I figure 30 amps would be more than I ever need. What I have planned will only need about 6 amps total.
My initial thought was run 10g uf from the main disconnect to my drive then put a breaker box for a few circuits. Now I am wondering if I should put a panel or something at my meter so this 10 g run is protected.
I live rural and don't have codes or permits to deal with, but still want to do it correctly.
What is the correct thing to do?
