De-Rating Circuits/Breaker

I'm going to run a 10-3 w/ground to my detached garage. Garage is 90 feet from house.

Question: Is a 30amp (2pole) breaker ok or can I go up to 40amp?

I have an electric countertop range (240) and replacing with propane. I don't need the 240 circuit, however I need a 110 line. My question is do I run a new 110 line or can I re-rig the 220 into two seperate 110's? ThanksRead More

I need to move a 220 outlet further down a wall and am going to put in a junction box so that I can splice the wire. By code does the junction box need to be accessible (the circuit breaker is accessible) or can it be behind a dishwasher?Read More
