Garage Sub-panel

5 years ago

I want to add a 100 amp Sub Panel to my attached garage. Do I need to add two additional ground rods to properly ground the sub panel? Or do i just run copper back to the main panel. From my understanding if it’s an attached structure you don’t need additional ground rods.

\You are correct. If it is the same structure, there's no need for additional ground rods. The subpanel has an equipment grounding conductor run to it as part of the feeder.

Would you use SE 2-2-2-4 wire as the feeders for this?

Seems like the simplest and safest route
