Ed, Its your money and your choice but (to spend your money is easy lol) heres things you may wanna consider. First, if that buried conduit passes under any driveways or future driveways, Id want it to be RIGID conduit in those portions at least. While direct burial rated cable will suffice in other locations, for no more then plastic conduit costs (versus the wire) why not use it. Second, if youre gonna go the expense of trenching n conduit etc WHY NOT GO AHEAD N RUN A 100 AMP 120/240 VOLT SERVICE OUT THERE??? DEPENDING ON LOAD You could get by with three No. 1 conductors, being Two Hots and One Neutral with the Neutral grounded at the garage. Then use a 100 amp panel for 120/240 volt service at the garage. Of course, theres voltage drop in the lines dependant upon the distance n amperage which may require bigger conductors, and if its critical one should run the calculation. John T
