Hello all,
10 year grunt electrician in commercial and industrial, little residential experiance. Bought a new home in Minneapolis and need to upgrade. I'd like to to bring a 200 amp service to detached garage and then feed the house underground. Will i be able to put a 200a panel in house and 100a in garage. The house has gas stove and furnace. May add central air in the future.
I've been reading threads about feed through panels and dual lug meter bases. Are either of these an option, if so which makes more sense.
I want to install the new Square D Homeline or QO panels that are equipped with arc fault and ground fault built into them. Do they make these new panels as feed through? Is there another recommendation? Do i need a 300 amp service from my utility although my load will be nowhere near 300 amps. I'm assuming my meter would then have to be rated at 300 a also.
