Hey all!

I am in the early planning stages of what will eventually be a 2
circuit
wiring job

Seriously, call an electrician to have this DONE RIGHT for you.

2 circuits wouldn't even cover the lighting circuits I put in my
2-car
garage!

Agreed. My one car garage/shop 26' x 26' has 2 circuits for lights
(1100 watts total) and 1 for AC, another for a welder, 4 for GFI wall
outlets, one for 'office', 1 for (ahem) refreshment fridge, 1 for
heating system, etc. Service panel is QO Square D 100 amp. Might have
to add a sub panel for a better air compressor 5 HP or better. Maybe
should have put in 200 amp...

I don't understand the need for two circuits for 1100 watts of lighting,
other than,
perhaps, wiring convenience. Heck, a single 20A will still give you a 10+
amps of
additional capacity to play with. Bragging rights, perhaps???


Perhaps if one circuit blows or needs repair, you still have lighting???
