Pool house/shed electrical

[mike93lx]

I'll be building a shed for my pool this winter. The equipment is located elsewhere, so this is just for toys, a changing space, mini fridge, light, etc. I'll also have a section walled off for my yard tools, so an ego battery charger will be there, which is rated at 550w.

A 20a circuit is plenty, so I figured two would cover basically anything I would ever need, which is leading me to a MWBC.

I have a ton of 12/3 NM-B on hand that can get me across the house in my crawl space and then I'd transition to probably a 3/4" pvc conduit and run THWN to the building. Inside, I'd feed two GFCI outlets and then have everything go off those. A two-pole 20a breaker in the house.

Anything I am missing?

You're only pulling 4 wires. 1/2" conduit is all you really need, 3/4" will be easier to pull, 1" is overkill.

Yeah I edited it down to 3/4 from 1 after posting. Realized it was way more than needed.

I'll look at the conduit cost difference. It's a really short run (30ish feet, basically straight)

You will need a 2-pole switch for a disconnecting means

So go into a 2-pole and then out to a pair of GFCI's?

Yes. And it needs to be close to where the power enters the building

Thanks. I'll come straight up into the switch box

1/2" pvc *****. The only thing it's good for is as a sleeve to bring 14/2 or 12/2 UF out of the ground.

This^

I can't remember the last time I ran 1/2". I default to 1" a lot of the time unless it's a really short run.

Noted.

I'll plan on 3/4. I really can't ever see needing more than two 20a circuits, but if something dramatically changes, I can deal with it then. I don't need to oversize the conduit for a future "what if".
