Wiring barn but confused on gauge of wire needed.
We currently have no electricity in our barn. We plan on running a cable from our garage panel to the panel in the barn. What we keep getting confused on is the gauge of wire to use. This wire will be put inside an outdoor tubing and buried 18". The only thing in the barn we will be using is lights, occasional power-tool, and a radio :)
We were told that #14 would do fine with 15 amp breakers but I know nothing about this stuff. I wouldn't imagine the wattage needed would be much.
Any help or advice is appreciated.
P.S. Would 15 amp circuit breakers be fine to run two fluorescent lights and an occasional power-tool and radio?
