I know this is a rather common topic - but I'm looking for the application specific advice and resources I can turn to for exacting info...
I have a 200 amp panel in the house...
I have a barn that's going to become a shop that' going to require about 150 feet of cable (wire) between it and the panel in the house to make things "light up".
In the barn there will be a big 220V compressor, a 220V stick welder (maybe some day a nice 220 MIG), 220V table saw, and a bunch of other shop tools...
It's 1 - 220V thing running at a time.
Questions are:
How big of a breaker should I put in the 200amp panel in the house for barn service?
What gauge wire runs the 150' from the house panel to the sub out in the barn?
Other thoughts and considerations appreciated.
