I am going to wire an out building, I want to put about 6 recepticles in it and a light with a switch. I have asked around alot and looked online, I have 14-2 wire, what size breaker should I use, and how many recepticles should I run to each breaker? Also, how do I wire from one recepticle to the next exactly?
Kenda tires are Ok and not expensive, Shinko tires are better and not that expensive, Shinko used to be Yokohama Tire Co. In my opinion, I personally prefer Bridgestone Spitfire tires.
the pirelli route mt 66 are exelent tyres for what you need change the tubes aswell if it has spoked wheels
it sounds like you should hire a pro. wiring for the novice can be dangerous. with that said14/2 with ground wire should only be used with a 15 amp breaker. then you need to think about what the electrical draw in the outbuilding will be. if it is just for lights and a single power tool at a time you should be able to safely put 6-8 receptacles per breaker. but local codes vary. if you are using high draw devices then they should be isolated on their own breaker. next when you go the the home store for the receptacles look for the ones with holes in the back for the wires. instead of wrapping the wires around screws you simply push the stripped wire in the hole. the holes should be labeled. load is black wires. neutral are the white wires. sometimes called common. the ground, bare wire, will be attached to a screw on the top of the fixture. if you have screws on the fixture remember this one thing. black to brass. the black wires are attached to the brass colored screw and the white to the silver colored screw. good luck. don't burn the house down. and don't use a larger breaker just to try to get more power out of the circuit. the breaker is matched to the wire size. you want the breaker to trip before the wire heats up because of too much resistance due to too high a demand.
You need to wire the receptacles with 12-2/wg and feed them with a 20 amp breaker. The lights could be added to the circuit, but if you overload the receptacles, the lights would go out. I suggest you wire the building with a 240 volt feed and separate the lights and the receptacles. Depending on the distance, the building could be fed with a 12-3/wg wire and double 20 amp breaker into a building box with a 20 amp breaker for the receptacles and a 15 amp for the lights. Some modifications could be made to provide 3 circuits and not cause any overloads. The safest way is to have a qualified professional, licensed, electrician do the work.
14-2? Is this out building next to the panel? You should concern yourself with voltage drop. I am not telling you how to do it. This is how I did it. 1) 10-3 with ground UF cable, directly buried from the main panel, on a 30 amp double pole breaker to a sub panel inside the garage. Black and red to the breaker. White and bare copper to the neutral bar of the MAIN panel. 2) In the garage, I installed a breaker box that was rated at 100 amp . That's the smallest I could find. BUT I put in another double pole 30 amp breaker as the main breaker. 3) Run one piece of 12-2 romex from the panel to the switch box then fed three other outlets making sure that they were GFCI protected. 4) Ran another 12-2 to three other outlet on a GFCI email me if I can help. Good Luck
