I bought a subpanel for garage with intentions of having 220 there. I will be running 6 gauge from sub to main box. Distance of under 100 ft. Work electritions tell me wire would handle up to 60 amps but will limit it to 50 amps.
I question the fact that the box came with only one bus bar to hook both nuetral and ground wires to. I will be running a wire back to main neutral bus bar and a grounding wire at subpanel (using a wire that came from a old telephone pole).
I have already installed the 8 ft grounding rod within 5 ft of subpanel.
Since the power comes in on only 2 wires from power company and only one grounding wire at house, my thought is if it works for power company it should work for me. Are my thoughts on right page?
