I have a 200amp service and want to extend more power to the garage. Right now I only have a 120v 15amp circuit out there.
I have a 60amp breaker to install in my house (Cutler Hammer) panel to feed my Sqaure D sub panel to go in the garage. My sub panel is a back feed through breaker style (I forget the technical term) I have a 60 amp breaker for it also.
My question's are:
What size conduit do I need to run for (3) #8 wires and (1) #10awg ground, (total distance of run 40ft garage to house)?
Are those wire sizes correct for my application?
I have to be 18" deep for conduit burial correct?
When I get into the house, do I need to still be in conduit all the way to the panel, or can I run regular copper #8 wire like for an electric stove?
If I do not have to be in the conduit in house (basement) can I splice the stove style wire into an LB that would be on the conduit comming from the garage, or is that a no, no?
Thanks very much for the help.
