I'm about to install a subpanel in the garage and had some questions (I realize some of this depends on local code, but in general):
1. In a garage (masonry w/ exposed walls, joists) does the wiring need to be in conduit, including that leading to the panel? If so, is PVC acceptable?
2. Is NM acceptable in conduit, or does it need to be outdoor cable?
3. If the sub has a 100A main breaker (to be used as the cutoff in the garage), can I use a 60A breaker in the main panel, thereby only needing to run 6/3 instead of the much more difficult run of 2/3, ande simply limiting my load center to the 60A?
thanks, Jake
