In this thread you tell me why I will or will not set my garage on fire;
Until I can arrange to have sub-paneling and underground power run from the house this is what I have purchased:
50 foot 12 gauge 15A extension cord run from an exterior GFCI outlet to reach the building which is roughly 35 feet from where I will install a flush mount pass through 15A port. On the other side of the port will be mounted a 15A breaker box (aka fancy power strip).
The incoming power will draw most of its use for 10 LED (40W ea) shop lights and a 16" gable exhaust shutter fan (160W). Additional power draw will be the occasion power tool and some wall mounted oscillating fans.
Thats about it till I can get a dedicated line run in.
I'm not coming anywhere near my 15A limit as far as I can tell as all my power tools (which would be used one at a time only draw somewhere in the range of 5A. The lights will be 2A with all on, the exhaust fan with be roughly 1A.
The power line would disconnected at the house when not in use.
