Welcome to our forum.
I want to run wires myself and most of the connections my question is two fold. 1. Can I run the wiring thru my attic ( plenty of room) or do I need to trench and bury in pipe( already have trench dug for drainage) 2. I am going to have a run around 125'-150' is #6 good enough for this run with a 60Amp GFI sub breaker 10' from spa. I also want to run maybe two 110 off of sub as well. I'm on a 150 main now Any help would be appreciated. I have checked posts back one year but if I missed this thread else were let me know and I'll go look.Thanks.........PGA
Sounds like you are planning to install a sub panel to power your spa, and also a couple 120v outlets? It so, I don't think you can feed the sub panel with #6, you'd probably have to run #4, which is good up to 100 amps. You could then install your 60 amp GFI breaker and run #6 from there to the spa. You'd then need to install a standard 15 or 20 amp breaker for the outlets, and run 14 gauge (15 amp) or 12 gauge (20 amp) for your outlet circuit. And you'd need to put GFI protection on those outlets if they are outside. Or do I have the wrong idea on your plan?You can run thru the attic, you'd need to put the wires in a conduit. Your 150 amp service should be adequate as long as you don't already have a lot of power hungry things hooked up. Like central a/c, electric dryer, oven, water heater, etc..... Brewman
