I just wanted to make sure my plan is OK before i start doing it.
I currently have a 50 AMP RV plug about waist high in an uninsulated garage wall. I am planning on mounting my 100 amp 12 space panel right above this plug. I realize i can only get 50 amps max to this panel, the panel came with a 100 amp breaker and i like the idea of having a main shutoff on the sub panel.
I am going to take the plug out, wirenut some 6 ga jacketed wire (3 wire + ground), poke a hole through the top of the plastic junction box that is behind the plug and run it up behind the drywall and through a hole in the drywall into the sub panel located above the plug box. Im planning on putting a clamp on the back of the subpanel to keep the wire from rubbing or whatever. Then put a blank cover plate over where the 50 amp RV plug used to be. There is no way i can get the wirenuts + the plug back in that plastic box.
I then wish to run a total of 5 circuits from this panel. All in 3/4" conduit using 12 ga, cept for 50 amp
50 amp circuit to replace the 50 amp plug. 6 guage 3+1 in a separate conduit run. will be right next to panel.
(2) 220 circuits. 2 hots + 1 neutral + 1 ground x 2, so 8 wires.
(2) 110 circuits. 1 hot + 1 neutral + 1 ground x 2, so 6 wires. Each circuit will have a GFI plug as its first one.
Anything wrong with this so far?
Can i combine the grounds so I'm only stringing 1 ground wire instead of 4? Can it still be 12ga if combined?
