If you have an electric plan in the form of a drawing of your shop and would like to share it please post here. This could be very beneficial to others that are in the electrical planning stage. Thank You

Mine was done with no plan on paper, just a simple plan in the mind of the electrician to put power where it would be needed (everywhere).
I have a 100 amp panel, 3 circuits for lights, 8 circuits for receptacles, and three 240 volt circuits for my 2 heaters and compressor.
I find that drawing something up on paper just eats time you could be getting the shop wired.

I think that what I inherited when we bought the place could be recreated by a child with a clean white sheet of paper and a box of crayons just as accurately as if I tried to draw it out...

I have three 20A circuits for all receptacles, and a 15A circuit for the lighting. There's also a 20A, 240V outlet for the air compressor, and everything is on on a 50A sub panel.

I put a bunch of outlets near my workbench in the top right corner, an outlet every 8' or closer, and outlets on either side of the big door. Plus there are two different circuits within easy reach of the workbench that is located at the top left corner.
