Power to workshop from home

[Ncfella]

Looking for a little help please... running power to workshop.

My home has a 200amp service. Neutral and ground are bonded at meter on outside of home. Main breaker box in house has neutral(white) and ground separated. I have a 100amp breaker installed in the main panel which ran to a sub panel 140 feet from the house. That's where I had a 30 amp breaker for a camper.

Camper is gone and now I have a workshop. Here's my plan and question's.

Wire from 100amp breaker in home is the aluminum 4 wire (2-2-4-6). I plan to remove outdoor sub panels internals and splice the four wires inside the panel... then continue the four wires to the workshop breaker panel.

Panel in workshop is a 100amp with a main 100amp breaker. I plan on green wire to ground bar, black with white stripe to neutral bar, 1 black wire to 100amp breaker.



What to do with final black wire?

Also, will I need ground rods or does house where feed comes from ground it?

Lengthy post but just trying to give as much info as possible.

Thanks for any insight

this forum is not a waste of time and since you are a do it yourself then all I’m doing to tell you is your extra black wire goes on a double pole breaker. You need to hire an electrician to do this install
