BigBen Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 One of the scariest area of building the shop has been setting up the electric system. I until have been a complete novice, doing nothing more than changing a ceiling fan or two. But with lots of help from the guys in the Woodwhisiper chat and friend who is a electrian I was to knock most of it out myself. My plan for electrical is 100 amp panel, which is more than enough for a one man shop. I also wanted lots of outlets, so I have oulets every 6'. Currently I have six 220 outlet in places where I am likely to have larger power tools. But I also used only 12 gauge THHN wire in case down the line I want to change where I have them as well as running 2" conduit the other side of the shop with a pull box. I can already see this paying off as I may need to change one outlet for larger DC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jfitz Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 >> and friend who is a electrian Good move - definitely follow his advice! Looks like you've put a lot of thought into it, and going with large conduit and a pull box are good forward-looking moves. It's looking good - can't wait to see the finished product!
