Hello, just wanted to say first of all I did search for an answer on this but its hard for me to get a straight answer out of some of the threads.
So here it is. I have an attached garage on my house with a pretty old sub panel(screw in fuses) that is fed by a 6/3 wire to give me 2 hots and the neutral. No ground.
I want to upgrade this to a breaker type sub panel with a few extra spaces so I can do a few more things in the garage. I would like to avoid running an entire new 4 wire feed to the sub panel and reuse as much as I can as the house panel and sub panel are very far apart.
I do have my well point about 10' from the sub panel in the garage as well.
So here is the list of questions:
1.) Can I use the 6/3 wire currently feeding the fuse box?
2.) If adding a ground is needed can I run a ground wire to the well point from the sub panel? Just FYI the MAIN house panel is grounded to the well point already as well as two ground rods.
3.) How would I configure the sub panel as far as bonding or not, adding a seperate ground bar in it or connecting ground and neutral wires to same bar.
Any help is appreciated. thank you much!
Matt
