Need to run wire for automatic horse waterers (1.3 amps each) to an open field about 350' away from the barn.
Ran 14/2 UF wire to 3 waterers inside the barn.
350' away from barn, is #10 wire OK for such a small load (1.3 amps for each waterer - 3 waterers in the field)? or do I need #8?
In the field, need to run to 3 separate wateres, so I think I need a subpanel out in the field...
How do I install the subpanel in an outdoor setting & what materials do I need?
If #10 wire is ok, I need 10/3 UF to run from the main panel to the subpanel - correct? Also, does the entire run need to be in conduit?
What size conduit if needed?
Is 18" deep enough?
What size breaker at the main panel?
What size breaker at the subpanel?--> only need to run 3 waterers (1.7 amps each) and maybe two separate circuits of outdoor receptacles...
What else is needed here? type of outdoor subpanel, grounding rods, etc...????
Thanks for the help!
