Wiring an outlet

usenetr2000 · 2009-01-27T15:04:22+00:00

HI...I want to run a temporary outlet to my garage while it's underconstruction. I have 10/2 wire ran from the house to the garage inconduit underground.Can I simply add a plug-in to the end that is inside the house andplug it directly into an outlet in my basement? The other end I willtie into a temporary outlet in my garage. I just want it for lightingand maybe the occasional power tool - but mostly lighting. The houseis a 200 amp service if that matters.Thanks!

Not at 400 feet it can't.

I sure would have.
