Electric to detached garage
Hello and thanks in advance for any help. I have a detached garage just under 300' from the 200 amp service at the house. I plan to run the wire underground in conduit. I am a little confused as to what (exact) type of wire I should have for this run. I am going to have a 100 amp sub-panel in the garage with the ground field at the garage. One of the quotes I have states "100 amp URD" for the wire. At the local "big box" store they told me that this is 2-2-2 wire (aluminum). My question: exactly what wire am I looking for? In the garage I will have lights, a small bench grinder, a 110 volt portable air compressor and maybe some hand held power tools (drill, etc.).
