Hello All,
Let be begin by making it clear that I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL ELECTRICIAN! I will be hiring one (I have one scheduled to come out to take a look, but it won't be until 10 days from now). I am making this post to get input from professional electricians as to whether this idea I have to run a 100A panel to my detached garage is plausible at all. I want to have a preliminary "in-person chat" with my HOA president and at least have a little bit of confidence when I explain to him what I would like to do. My goal here is to make as few changes to my condo's service panel as I can. My HOA will be involved, as well as the power company (Duke Energy), as well as the licensed electrician I plan to hire. I have attached a PDF of a slideshow I made today. If any of you professionals could take a look at my slideshow and tell me if my initial ideas on what to do are plausible or not, I'd really appreciate it. End goal here is to be able to properly power my CNC plasma cutter, TIG welder, and Air compressor off of 240V in my detached garage. I really just want a 100A panel in my garage to run two 240V circuits and two 120V circuits. If you all think my idea won't work, could you make suggestions I could speak with my electrician about? I appreciate y'all's wealth of knowledge. Cheers!
