Hi all,
I need to redo the electrical service at my house to run my new shop. After consulting with the electrical supply, they suggest a 320A continuous, 400A intermittent rated meter base with two integral disconnect breakers as service equipment. I'm planning on running a feeder from one 200A breaker to the shop's new panel and another 200A feeder off the other breaker to the house's old 200A panel.
The catch is I think I'm going to have to run the wires back to the house in Rigid or Intermediate Metallic Conduit so that it only has to be buried 6 inches and doesn't need to be concreted over. (My desire to dig around tree roots has run out after the sprinkler system. . .)
I wanted to double check here whether my plan to run the 2/0 copper 200A feeder from the service back to the house through 2 inch RMC sounded good.
Thanks in advance,
Cameron
