All, please remember that there are several reasons to "derate" or lower the ampacity or current carrying ability of wires. Ambient temperature is listed in section 310 of the NEC. Yes, your attic or just laying in insulation may put you into this section. It might be smart to oversize your feeder wires to be safe.

Awesome video. Brevity is the sole of wit! Exactly what I was looking for.

Have a link to that upcoming video? Cant seem to find it on your channel.

You got it bro! Thank you for your support! Let's get to it!!!

Aye pro-tip, what gauge was your SEC Cabel for your 100amp? Thanks

So heres what we have going on. We have a main pole that has 200 amp service to it. We have a shed that is about 350 to 400 feet away and we'd like to install a sub panel to feed an A.C. and a fridge. I think I need a 50 amp breaker at the main box then run #6 UF wire to the sub panel which will have two 15 amp breakers, one to feed an outlet for the A.C. and one to feed the outlet for the fridge. Does this sound like the right set up? Also would I need to worry about voltage drop or would this set up enable The A.C. and fridge to run without fault even with voltage drop. I have literally just started to learn about all this in the last week. Treat me like a toddler when answering please. haha

I wish I could buy at those prices today!

Helo , I want to put a 100amp sub panel, 100 feet away, what size cable should I use?

SER cable is not Direct burial, and cannot be run underground in conduit.

Reading a bit around the net. This cable is rated at 90 degrees to get that amp rating correct? From what I’m reading, most terminals are rated at 75 degrees which brings the max amp rating down allowed down. Is that correct?

Actually, nec not in front of me but section 110.14, I think, talks about terminal connections..... PS. Please no grief if the 100 Amp limit is inside 60 degrees or 75 degrees.

Do we have to install ground rods for the subpanel if we install it in the basement in the same house...?

Great question, you'll never install more ground rods at sub panels in the same structure according to the NEC definitely work with your electrical inspector.

Can I run a 60 amp sub panel off a 100 amp main panel (How big of a subpanel can I install off a 100 amp service)

Great question! Yes it's going to be sized based off of table 250. 122 (C)(1) and just classified as a bonding jumper. Page 119 of the 2017 NEC!

Can that cable be buried in conduit for a out building as it is in your hand?

No, this wire cannot be buried as-is and cannot be buried even in conduit. However, it can be placed within conduit above ground.

Still grinding here..

Doesn’t a feeder to a sub panel get the 83% 310.15(B)(7)(2) thing? I’m trying to get 100a out of a feeder that’s AL #2 SER. Isn’t it good for 100a?
