Thanks, I didn't think it sounded right to simply re-label the 100A, so I am following your advice; instead, I have labelled the 100A breaker "Main Disconnect", along with a label that says '120/240v...

I only started this thread to try to get some clarity on a question re TR. Didn't intend it to be a "battle", and in fact, there was no battle. So I have found that electrical codes, as with fire...

You make it sound like that's a bad thing. Remember, this is just my pole-barn garage, for the RV. I wired everything with 12-2, including lights. I have 10 receptacles 4' off the floor, along each...

ArgMeMatey, I see you get it. I employed a dozen people in the security and fire alarm installation business, for 37 years, so I am use to following codes. So this is only about understanding and...

Rick, thank you for your comment, but does not apply here. There are no other, more restrictive codes in place here, so this is purely a matter of 2 agencies inspecting for compliance with NEC 2008,...

For the same reason that I don't want to install arc-fault in the garage. It's not required. NEC is a standard to which every jurisdiction who has adopted it, must follow. I want to do what is...

Yes, Delaware adopted the 2008 NEC in November of 2009. I do agree that I need GFI receptacles, but am questioning the need for the child-proof (tamper-proof) type.

The 2nd inspector that I talked with referenced NEC 2.10.52. Is that where it says "dwelling unit" that you mentioned? This is definitely a detached garage; enclosed pole-barn actually, all one big...

Child-proof recept in detached garage; 2 inspection agencies; different answers

I have built a detached garage for my RV, and have pulled a homeowner's permit to do the wiring. A neighbor just finished a similar project. He was told he needed to tamper-proof receptacles, even...

Appreciate the reminder, but I was speaking about running to the RV receptacle, then to a welder, from the sub-p, and abandoning the #8 feed, as was originally suggested. That was I would only need...

Ray, how many breakers am I limited to in the sub-p? I seem to remember something about 6, either singles or doubles. If that's correct, I will probably want to go from the panel to the RV recp in...

Yes, you're right of course. RV 50A 'shorepower' uses two 120vac legs (L1, L2, neutral & ground), a 4-terminal receptacle), but does not use 240v inside the RV.

OK, thanks for the guidance on that. Since this is, among other uses, my RV garage, I will use those 8's for a dedicated RV power/welder receptacle. (My old Sears welder requires a 2-pole 30A...

Thanks. Yes, of course. I wasn't thinking ahead. I am sure one of the main concerns would be the potential hazard of backfeeding to the load side of the breaker in the main panel.

Is multi-feed to a pole barn sub-panel allowed?

I built a pole barn where the shed was. It had a 30a 2-pole (#8 THHN) feed to a sub-panel. I ran another conduit with #6 THHN to the barn, which is adequate for my needs, but my question is can I...

OK, this is good info. Propane boiler might be doable if electric water heater would be too little heat, or too costly to run.

Solar was ruled out, as the slopes of the A-roof are east and west,...
