Here's what they have:
A full panel inside
A main breaker outside in an enclosure next to the meter instead of in the panel
An empty lug panel screwed to the wall inside of their shed (I mean empty; no breakers or anything, basically a metal box on the wall) He bought the panel, but no breakers because he wasn't sure what to get because he wasn't sure what all was going in shed at time of purchase
Here's what they want:
A portable storage bldg approx 60ft from meter turned into a “mini-spa” with a treadmill, tanning bed, a small window unit A/C, several receptacles and lites, and one outside circuit for floods and one receptacle
Is there a SAFE\easy way to either tie into the load side of the main breaker inside the enclosure outside the house or the wires in the attic between the enclosure and panel, to then run them underground to the shed, once in the shed connect them to a disconnect (if necessary) and then\ or to the sub panel they have installed, fill it with appropriate breakers and then wire the shed. I can do all of the work, the only real questions I have are about tying into the load side of the main breaker somehow, instead of getting from the full panel, which is in the middle of the bottom floor of a house on a slab, to the shed; and then not really whether there needs to be a disconnect, but which type is appropriate and whether it should be near the main breaker on the house or out in the shed.
Any suggestions are appreciated and I will answer any questions you may have to help asap.
Also, wire sizes for run from house to shed would be great
Thanks for even taking the time to read all this.
