Subpanel breaker type

[Malcolm McLeod]

Down to 4200 yesterday. Maybe if I keep waiting they will give it to me. This roll of wire was over 7000 when the thread started last Spring. I really don't need it until next Spring.

That's a lot of copper. Have you considered a pair of transformers - boost line side (supply) from 240V(?) to 480V(?), then reduce back to 240V at the sub-panel - cutting most of your wire run's size requirement ~ in half? Maybe a wash on $$, but if you find the right deal of xfrmrs...??

...assuming code enforcement allows this. (I've seen it done, but no idea if it was suitably blessed by authority.)

I like simple. It's an income producing property, so I can deduct the cost. I just didn't want to spend more than I need to, and wasn't ready to do this step anyway. Waiting looks like it's paying off.
