Will it appears that you thinking is in line with the other electricians. I had my final quote on Friday and 3 out of 4 agree in the #6 wire would be acceptable.
I am starting to believe that KISS...

I understand and see your point about the voltage drop. What you opinion about the tempature being that the EMT will be run in the attic of the house?:o

I think KISS might be right.:D I have been doing some research on my own and have learned a few things. I am in no way as talented and educated as you and KISS but let me take a stab at this.

When I started this project I was looking at running #6 TTHN in 1" conduit. But many of you feel #4 would be more acceptable for a 60amp sub-panel at 120-150 feet away.
So......
Now, I am looking...

That is the best explanation I have ever had given to me. You should write books. I hope this site references back to this link because it is very clear to understand. Wow:) ...

KeepItSimpleStupid: Wow, then out of the 3 licenced electricians only one was right. That is kinda of scary. It will be interesting to see what the 4th electrician says, as I have a final quote...

You are correct about he Grey. I apologize for that. Let me clarify this a bit better---
This would be for a wood work shop. Most of the major draw will be for 30 minutes or less.

Thanks for the feedback. I myself like the QO boxes and that what I plan on using. I have heard of a few issue with homeline boxes. But QO are well established and I don't see them being...

I am getting mixed messages from different licenced electricians. Run length 100ft. 60 amp sub-panel in 1" conduit. Wire size according to NEC??

2 electricians have stated #6
1 electrician has...

I know this is opinion based tkrussell. I have been getting quotes for my 60 amp sub panel and all but one electrician recommended square D. Most have recommend Murry. I personally, like square d....

You are correct on the current usage requirements, but here is my thinking.
1) My next shop will be quite large. I would estimate 8-10 220 machines. I prefer to hard wire my machine than use a...

I will be having a 60amp sub-panel installed in my attached garage to run various machines. My current thinking is I would like as many spaces(8,10,12) in the panel as possible to allow for possible...

Bump--Does anyone want to give me some feedback on the above.
Not sure what happened. I was getting great feeback then all of a sudden it stopped.

Bump--I was hoping to get a few respones to the below questions--

I am now thinking my best bet is to run another line from the main panel to a new sub-panel:rolleyes:
If I should decide to do...

Washington1--Ya, I did not do this wiring.
The only thing I did was the EMT to the light switch(not finished yet, needs a cover and clamps). The rest was this way when I bought the house. I am...

I thought it depended on if it the wire were exposed or in the wall. :eek:

stanfortyman:

That is one of the better explanation I have gotten.:)

This is my concern--In my case the garage is attached. The sub-panel in the garage is a 50amp panel. But the run to the...

I have a 50amp sub-panel that has the ground and neurtral as one. Is this correct?

I could swear I have read the code before and it said the main box has the neutral and ground as one(bonded),...
