I have a shed with 7 circuits of THWN fed underground in conduit from the house panel. They run to a junction box and from there to lights and receptacles through 14-2 and 12-2 romex.
I am going to pull all the wire from the shed and re-work the electrical. I will set a sub panel in the shed and feed that with 4 AWG THWN.

I have a small outbuilding that is new and I need a few lights and and 2 outlets, one for a small window AC.

How should I feed the new building?

I thinking to run conduit from the old shed to the new building. Should I just pull stranded wire for each circuit(2 or 3) to a junction box in the new building? It is about 70' total from panel to inside the new building.

Please let me know how you think I should proceed.

Thanks!

7 circuits?

Geez

Code only permits one circuit to an outbuilding.

Rip all that out and run one feeder to each building.
