I'm looking to have a 15kW natural gas generator installed. I have two
choices, since my NG meter and electricity meter are on opposite sides of
the house (about 250 zig-zag ft away). I talked with a few plumbers about
burying NG pipe to feed the generator and that bill was $2500.
Option B is to put the genny close to the NG and run heavy wire to the fuse
box. before I talk with the electronical guys I'd like to get an estimate
of how much the wire is going to cost.
I'm assuming for a 250' run I'll need at least 800' for the three wires
(hot1 hot2 and neutral).
Does it need to be in conduit since it will be running through my attic and
breezeway?
Where can I find a supply shop that carries this type of wire?
