POV: An Electrician Family Trying to figure out a Plan + Price for a 100 AMP Line 100 FT, Thoughts?

What happens here

The master electrician father introduces the project to his apprentice sons: to run a new 100 AMP electrical line to a mobile office. They identify the existing power source as an outdoor 400 AMP main panel, specifically a Square D QO panel, and the destination as a 100 AMP subpanel on the mobile office. The objective is to determine the best method for this specific installation.

Goal: Clarify the electrical installation task and its context.

Tools and materials

  • 100 AMP Subpanel — The destination for the new electrical line on the mobile office
  • Mobile Office United Rentals — The structure receiving the new electrical service
  • Outdoor 400 AMP Main Panel Square D QO — The existing source of electrical power for the new line

So Dad, we went to this commercial job. We got to run a 100 amp line. >> What are our options? So, we've got that panel that's outside. Looks like a Square D QO panel. This needs what? 100 amp? >> 100 amp for a mobile office. >> Okay. >> All right. >> Why can't you just come straight out? You were at the job we didn't go. Go ahead. >> We got to run 100 ft. Full job is outside. Then we got to choose our way how to do it. >> Okay. >> We might have to dig a little bit. >> See, you can't dig. >> See, now you're saying don't dig. You're saying you can dig. You know what, guys?
