Does anyone have access to the up-to-date NEC code book and/or do we have any electricians on the site?
I have two electric meters on my property, one old one on the house (100 amp, overhead service) and a new one on my shop (200 amp, underground.) I want to subfeed the house off the shop and remove the old meter and overhead line and replace it with buried cable (roughly 100'.) This will clean up the place a lot and save me $10/month for the extra meter. It is a relatively simple project but I am getting quotes of around $6000 so I'm considering doing it myself.
I'm fairly familiar with AC wiring, I have rewired about half my house and my entire shop. I am not as familiar with how they want the new feed from the shop to the house to look - one quote I got said that it includes a 125A breaker, one unmetered disconnect, and "125 amp underground wire" whatever that means, what wire size is my question.
I'm assuming they'd run wire from the 125A breaker outside to the disconnect box, then from there to the house where the old meter can is?
