You can only take one circuit or feeder to an outbuilding. The subpanel would go out in the shed.
I got that, but I was now wondering about the rest of the plan from there on out, should I get to the point where I actually get a sub panel installed.pro handyman said:What they are saying is the wire coming off the 50 has to have 4 wires a red, a black, a white, and a green. If you don't have all 4 you will have to run a new wire that has all 4 to your new sub panel.
I kinda figure that.The photo you see is the main panel. No main breaker. The house's original fuse panel was effectively made into a sub panel and is powered by one of those two 30A double breakers. I have a whole host of questions surrounding that set up, but that's fuel for another post. I know the main panel needs replacing, but that alone is $2000 worth of work. It's a can of worms.
PHM.,You can NOT run your house off of 1 30amp breaker. Seriously change that main panel. That's just asking for trouble.
I put that part bold to make sure I do understand your wordings.,I'm sure there are homes that run off of 30amp. But its been my experience with todays electrical demands. It's best to do away with fuse boxes and upgrade your home. Around here with help a guy could change out his service myself for less then $600.
