I am trying to connect power to my detached garage, from my in house breaker box. Any suggestions?
If you dig the ditch for underground just put in a bigger conduit so if you or someone else want to up grade, it will be no big deal.
I've never thought of this, probably since I don't have a garage. And in a workshop it is likely that lines will be overloaded.And yes, flipping a thrown breaker in the garage sure beats running in the house and down the basement.
I've heard 5% max volt drop from main load center to farthest outlet.Another thing to consider when sizing your conductors is the length of your run. For every 100' of wire length you should upgrade to the next wire size. If you have questions look up voltage drop tables to determine what the wire size should be for load and length of run.
