Hello again. You all helped me here before: [URL="http://www.doityourself.com/forum/electrical-c-d-c/449773-adding-hot-tub-back-porch.html"]http://www.doityourself.com/forum/electrical-c-d-c/449773-adding-hot-tub-back-porch.html[/URL] I have reviewed my own thread there, in hopes to help my brother-in-law/friend bring 240v 60amp power to his newly erected back yard shed/workshop of 12' x 16'. His current requirements are small: 4 qty 120v outlets 2 overhead lights 1 dedicated outlet perhaps for a window unit a/c I have talked to him and stated what I've learned, in that doing this stuff you want to build it with expansion in mind, IE: running outside back yard equipment off the shed power, surge of running power tools like saws, compressors etc.. or who knows later on, back yard lighting.. building a time machine.. etc.. :) lol. If he remains with only the need for 120v, then I guess we could go with a 30A subpanel with lesser gauge wiring??? I recommended 60a 240v though because you can do whatever you need with that volume of power once its properly run to the workshop. The workshop is approximately 60-70ft from the main principal in the house and its power will stem from there. I have recommended for the 60a 240v subpanel to have 6/3g NM or Romex inside the house/workshop and 6/3g THWN or THHN/THWN type cable outside stemming from junction box in attic all the way down through 1" PVC schedule 40 conduit to the workshop grounding outside in a new grounding rod at the workshop and [B]NOT[/B] grounding to the house main principal ground circuit and all of it buried 18" deep (12" for 120v). I would figure to run THWN or THHN/THWN cable entirely all the way from the main principal of the house through to the subpanel inside the workshop, but the only limitation there is cost right??? Have I missed anything? Does there need to be a disconnect sub panel anywhere else in this or is it ok just to have the one in the workshop alone?

I live in an older house We have fuses instead of breakers now my question is i have a dryer plug and a stove both going to the same fuse & both are 240 the dryer plug doesnt get used What would happen if i were to A-buy a 240v extensin cord and hard wire it to fusebox where dryer is and use power else where would i run into problems? B- buy more 240 and just extend the existing wire? Now my biggest issue is them both being on same fuse is this gonna be a problem?
