Dedicated Electrical


Hey Guys,

 

When building a dedicated electrical circuits is it better to add to my current box or add a sub panel?  Pro's and con's?

 

Current plan is 10/2 w/ Shunyata outlets.

 

Thank you

Jim

Well, depends on the distance and circuits. If it's a long run and you are planning multiple circuits a sub panel is the way to go.  The voltage drop / foot will be smaller.

A subpanel won't add anyting.  It is often used if you are putting in service to many circuits a long distance from the box. run one big wire and split it up.  or if you are running out of breaker positions in your box.  Neither applies to you.  Jerry

run one big wire and split it up.

That would be a standard configuration for a sub-panel.
