Hello!
I'm building a pole barn and I want to run electric to it for a small workshop. A 60 amp sub panel will be adequate. I plan to hire an electrician to install the panel, but probably not until next year due to cost overruns. I'm outa money. I'd like to put in conduit and the conductors now, though. Before the slab is poured. It will just be easier in the long run, I imagine.
I'm reading the 4AWG coper is appropriate. It's about a 120 foot run. I get a little confused with the number of conductors needed.
If I go to lowes to buy the conductors, what do I need? Should have a red, a black, a white and a bare coper wire? is that 4-4-4-6?
