I am going about 150 feet to a shed, and plan to run number 10 gauge wire. This is simply a shed, and I want to be able to run power tools and have some lights in the shed. I plan to use UF wire, and of course go 2 feet underground.
Someone advised to run 10/3 instead of 10/2, but I forgot the reason why. It seems they were indicating I could have TWO circuits instead of one. Is that correct ? If so, then it seems that I could have 2 separate
20 amp circuits, but I am not sure.When we say 10/3 wire, is that two main live wires, and one common ground ??
Thanks a lot !!
