Home electrical wiring diagrams are an important tool for completing your electrical projects. An electrical wiring diagram can be as simple as a diagram showing how to install a new switch in your hallway, or as complex as the complete electrical blueprint for your new home or home improvement project.

John,
The most economical solution may actually depend on how much you plan to do yourself, and if you have the necessary equipment, especially if you install underground conduit. Depending on the environment and personal preference, an overhead service extended from the house may be an option and the required triplex wire would be less expensive. Due to the distance, voltage drop will be a factor which will require up-sizing the wire, especially if you decide to go underground.
As for an additional service from the electrical utility, generally they do not deliver three phase to residential dwellings, and in some locations a second service is not allowed. Check with your local electric utility provider for the specifics and costs.
Above all, make sure to provide ample power for your workshop equipment, especially the motor loads, and plan for any future devices or expansion.

my house has a 200 amp circuit with six open breaker positions. I am planning to build a workshop several hundred feet away from the box and want to know the most economical plan. Should I just have the utility put in a new drop (everything coming from the street is underground). Can I run a line from the main around the house to the other side where the shop is planned. It will be a woodworking shop primarily but since I work alone only one tool and the exhaust extraction/filter system will run at a time. I think a 100 amp box would be sufficient. If I have a new drop put in would you suggest a three phase system?
Thanks in advance,
John
