My detached garage currently has a 25 amp 3 wire (only 3 wires going through the conduit from the panel on the house) service going to it. I wish to upgrade the wiring/service to 50 amps (minimum) for a brewtroller/eHERMS system I'm in the planning stages for.
My first question for you all is, what size conduit would I need for a 6awg run of 4 wires (black, white, red, and bare copper)? The current (grey plastic) conuit being used for the existing run is the 3/4" sch40 grey stuff.
Second, from the main panel on the house to where it enters the ground, I see 5' of visible conduit. On the garage side, there is 3_1/2' of conduit visible. The distance between these two points is 28'. How far under ground would you think the conduit is (or should be) burried? I'm trying to get an idea of how much wire to purchase.
