Hey guys, I've worked on electrical equipment both AC/DC a long time. Though I'm generally in the repair business from the Outlet side I do have experience running cable from the mains to whatever it may be. I'm not much familiar with code and what's out there though.
My idea may be totally unfeasible, impossible, or just plain cheaper to put in a 200A box and make a run to the sub panel. I have a 100A main in my house. I also have a 100 sub panel in my garage with a 100A service(I'm making an assumption on that one.. have not verified the guage of the wires).
Here's the thing.. I probably should have a 200A service line.. however 100A is really all I need in the house and the garage. Is there such a thing where I can run the 200A line and and have a preferably a fused disconnect outside at the meter.. with 2 100A connections coming out of it.. that meets code in VA?
I inherited this as it is so don't look at me, two.. it's been mainly me for the most part so I probably never used 50A combined the whole time I lived there. However, My sister wants to reside at my house with her Camper(she has to be in VA for at least 8 weeks a year.. her job keeps her moving) and my mom is moving in with me as well... she's a electrical hog.. so I fear between her camper drawing 50A's with the AC's running, and my mom I'm gonna be pushing the 100A mains a bit hard. I'd like to put my sister on the garage sub panel which already has a 60A line she could plug into. Of course this is if I could split the 200A service to two 100A box's.. I figure it'll be cheaper.. and even if the box is a bit on the high side it would simplify the electrical work to offset the cost.
Ideas?
