Realizing now how little I know @ electricity and how it works. I know very little @ what I'm trying to do and am hoping you at the farm can give me some advice. Know that I am having a liscenced electrician do all the work but being that I live in a new med state there are no electricians familiar with what I'm doing.
I have an 8x12 shed that I'd like to wire with 4 gavita1000de lights which draw 5 amps ( I believe) with an 18200 btu lg mini split which draws 17 amps. Im also going to need enough electricity for at least 4 fans and a dehumidifier .
These are my questions.
What sized breaker will I need on my main panel that leads to my shed?
What sized wire do I need to run underground to my shed?
Do I need a sub panel?
What's the most practical light timer for for this many lights?
If I use a subpanel what gage wire do I run to my timer and from my timer to my lights?
What gage wire do I run to my outlets for fans and dehumidifier
Thanks in advance for your time and input.
There are some seriously smart people on this forum.
