I have looked around a bit and cant seem to find any posts that address what it is that I am looking for..
I'm looking to set up the well (I am not sure of depth but we are on the top of a small mountain) at a property that we own but only use during the summer.. There is only a camper on the property (and septic) so I need to house the parts somewhere. The property is in the Southern tier of NYS and will experience freezing (we don't use the water in winter obviously). ___ I will get more tech info on sunday---
I have already built a "Dog House" from pressure treated lumber and 3/4 plywood that will be insulated before completion.
I need to know what is the most logical set up for me to use?
The well is about 20' from the main electrical service box (located on a pole) but the location of the camper is about 100' from the electric.
what I THINK I want to do (and need to know if this makes sense or if I am missing something) IS run 6/3 to a sub panel that would be located INSIDE this insulated dog house (at the 100' location), use the subpanel to supply the camper and other items used at that location as well as supply the wells electric.
So I want to use a double 60A breaker in the MAIN panel to the sub panel (located inside the well house if that is standard practice), then a double 30A for the deep well pump (I don't have the specs on hand at the moment), a 30A for the camper service (because it IS 100' from the panel) as well as a exterior 15A outlet for outside of the well house. the reason I say double 30A for the well is because that is what was on it in the cabin that was torn down, if that is required- I don't really know.
or does it make more sense to house the well components closer to the main panel and well, wired directly into the main panel, and still run the 6/3 out to the camper as well as the water line???
anyone with an opinion fell free to chime in.. Im sure many will say " just hire an electrician", but I still prefer to know what is proper and logical and not take for granted that a contractor will always know what is best.....
