That #6 teck cable was definitely the more expensive route. You could gone with 1 1/4" conduit and 1/0 aluminum cables for the same price. And the aluminum would have given you more headroom in that 60amps with no loss over the distance.View attachment 242386 Yes power is a concern. I have a fair bit of 120 outlets through the garage and will be adding another complet panel for 220 on the other side with a 60 amp circuit a 20 amp and also a 30 amp. I ll be able to run the equipment as long as I think about things as I am a one man shop. Winter with the 220 heater drawing 26amps at max plus the welder will be my most draw at once with a small kick toe 110 heater close to the floor facing the lathe. I do plan to cnc a rong fu rf 31 down the rd so I will have to consider what is run at the time. I just hope my girfriend doesn t want to do any laundry at the same time as the house only has 100 amps. Over time the lights will be converted over to leds. Ready to get wired up now with the panel 6 gauge cable and vfd sitting on the bench and thanks Glenn!
Food for thought.
I wish I had a detached garage. Then I wouldn't get complaints that I'm vibrating the whole house.
