Hi,
I just bought a RV panel from home depot (Connecticut Electric 80 Amp RV Panel with 50A & 30A Receptacles, Breakers & GFCI Duplex - CESMPSC75GRHR at The Home Depot (http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1vZ1xgt/R-100669939/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053)). From the length of my run (100 some odd feet) and the amperage it appears I need to run 3 #4 THHN wires in 1 1/4" conduit with a separate grounding bus at the sub panel location (per code?). My question is I'm not sure what I should use at the main for this box a 50A double throw or 70A or should I just run it all the way up to an 80A double throw (this seems dangerous to me). Only thing that fouls me up with this install is the 120VAC GCFI outlets in that box..
Thanks for some input..
