I intend to run an underground feeder wire (approximately 150') from my home
service panel to a subpanel for a shop that I'm building in my back yard.

The question is...do I have to get a special service panel to allow for the
connection of the new wire for the shop or can I just piggy back (attach to
the same terminals) the new wires to the existing service coming in ?

Thanks,
Ray



Standard & approved practice would be to install a breaker in your main
panel and connect the subpanel feed to that breaker. It would be a
very good idea to research this at your local library rather than on
usenet, and speak to your local building inspector & permit office as
well.
