Good afternoon everybody.
We have a new drilled well installed 500 feet out in the woods from one of my workshops. I am going to be running the line from one of my 200 amp subpanels located in the workshop.
I installed a well house approx 460 feet from the workshop and will be installing a subpanel in the well house which will power the well pump (1.5 HP 230V), possibly a heater or 120w bulb, and would also like a little extra power should I need to charge any of my equipment out there in the future.
Underground will be PVC conduit I plan on snaking the line through. What size/type of wire should I use for the best value/cost? I don't want to buy from Lowes or Home Depot and will look on line or at a supply house. I know that there will be some loss at that distance but I want to make sure i do it right. If you need to know the make/model of the pump it is: CentriPro M15432/150C313.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
