After reading with great interest the thread on the 220 volt outlet I thought I might post my plan for getting power to the well and make sure I am on the right track.
First off starting with a 50 amp breaker in my main panel, I will run 6 - 3 with ground in buried conduit 110' over to the well site.
This will terminate in a Square D, Nema 3, QO, 100 amp, 6 space, load center. I have purchased a separate ground bar and will not have the neutral and ground connected to each other in the sub panel.
Then coming off a 30 amp breaker in the sub panel I will run 10 - 3 in conduit about 10' over to the well contact points.
The reason I want to install a load center is that eventually I will have a well house built over the well and would like to have a light and outlet for 110. It is also possible I may like to make a short run of 12 - 3 to the front gate so my wife could have Christmas lights.
Any input on my plan would be appreciated.
Thanks
