I guess this technically be in the "garage" area...
So, if I want 220V 60amps I need what?
So I am looking to run approximately 100 feet of wire from the main breaker, down and underneath / through the floor joists in my house and outside either to my shed / garage (future location) or to the side of my house in some kind of large junction box. Should I consider running a sub-breaker box and wiring 110 at the same time in the thinking I might one day actually build a garage?
Either way, based of the approximate length, what gauge of wiring should I consider? Is there a nice little pre-packaged wire that has some kind of sheathing that will work for this? I know at the main breaker I will have a double breaker switch which I presume gives you your three leads to connect your wiring to.
On the other end, if running out to the "shop", I would have to run underground which may require additional conduit at (18" or 36", I don't remember).
Long story short, does anyone have 1st hand knowledge of electrical code and where / what to buy in terms of the wiring?
