Electrical wiring concern with my PB

[huskyrider]

Tell the pool builder that you will take care of it youself.

I disagree with this completely. You'll have no warranty for your first year from the electrician.

it should not cost 300.00.

I'm curious, please tell me what you think it should cost.


I do agree that it should be a 2awg in a 1 1/2" conduit.

I also agree that energizing the 100 amp power center is really no big deal.
If, by chance, you were amp'd out on your load you'd trip the 200 main disconnect breaker and lose all power everywhere until it was reset. 200 amps is a bunch and unless you had a heat pump on the pool running at the same time as an electric home heater, electric oven, and an electric clothes dryer, plus your usual lights and televisions etc.. I seriously doubt that you'd trip it.

I really think the best bet is to ask the builder if you can purchase the materials and have his sub install them.

See ya,
