Greetings All!
I am in the process of wiring up a shed in the backyard for use as a workshop. I have a new SquareD load center panel (QO8-16L100S) that I want to use but need some clarification. 1. This particular panel only has one grounding/neutral bar, but I was under the impression the ground and neutral must be separated in a subpanel installed in a stand alone structure. Should I just buy a ground bar and install it in the panel and connect it to a new grounding rod? 2. The panel is rated for 100A, but I was hoping to use a 60A-75A breaker in the main box to feed this subpanel. Is this a problem? The subpanel does not have a main breaker in it. 3. The run from the main panel to the sub will only be about 15 ft. total. What size wire do you suggest I run?
Thanks, Robb
