Hello - I basically want to extend a 15 amp gfci protected circuit about 28 feet (up 7 feet, and 11 feet and 10 feet along ceiling) adding 2 new outlets. I would be starting at an outlet that is protected by a gfci plug in the garage, and this plug also protects 2 other outlets around the outside of the house. I am not exactly sure how they are wired. My concern is distance. The new outlets are for a tv, a cable box and a small amplifier, and possibly a light. Please see the attached sketch. Thanks for any suggestions. Bill [ATTACH]69652[/ATTACH]

I've built a small detached mother-in-law in my back yard (in Seattle, which has adopted the 2014 NEC). The unit is a studio layout with kitchen and 3/4 bath. All major appliances are gas powered. I am running service from the main panel in the primary residence underground to a sub panel at the unit. I have two city inspectors disagreeing about a couple of issues with my project. Inspector #1 is in my favor, and #2 is asking for changes that would be a big pain, but is being open-minded that she might be wrong, so I want to make my case by citing the code. That's what I'd like your help with. Here are the issues: 1) Inspector #1 says that minimum service amperage is based on load calcs. #2 says that there is a minimum 100a requirement. My load capacity calcs come out to 30a, so 100a service would be ridiculous. However, 230.42(A) seems pretty clear that minimum service is based on load, favoring my position. Anything I'm missing on this one? 2) Inspector #2 says I'm required to pull 220v (two hot conductors) out to the sub panel, despite the fact that there is nothing that will consume 220, and there is no requirement for me to install a 200v outlet. Inspector #1 says I can just pull one hot conductor and Y-splice it to the two hot lugs in the sub panel, as long as I put a sticker in the panel saying "no double pole breakers." On this one, I'm having trouble finding anything in the NEC to cite. Would love some help.. If she makes me run 100a 220v service, I have to scrap over 200' of #4 wire (plus my conduit), and then buy [I]300'[/I] of #1 wire. :mad: Thanks in advance!
