I have a 100 amp sub panel in my attached garage that is 2 feet from my main panel and was put there due to spaces in the main panel running out. ANyway, from this sub panel I was going to run another subpanel in a detached garage I just built.
Upon inspection, the sub panel in the attaached garage that is 2 feet away from my main panel is Essex 4-3 NMB cable. Is this by code able to carry 100 amps? I bought 3 # 3's and a # 6 ground for my run to the detached garage.
Do I need to replace that wire with # 3 also? When I installed that first sub panel 7 years ago that is the wire the wire supply house told me to use.
