I am in the process of wiring my shop with it's own power supply.
The site where my shop is used to have a mobile home on it so there are underground wires already in place from the power co. I have bought a meter base and am mounting it on the outside wall of the shop. My intent is to come right off of that through the wall and into a breaker box.
The question is what will I need for a box? Will a main lug do or will it have to have a breaker? Since it's a small shop do I need 200 amp service or will 100 / 125 do? I plan on having 1 220 outlet just in case but I don't specifically need one.
Advice please.
