What's wrong here?

[pelligrini]

So I'm pulling the last 30' of 6/3 cable for a subpanel in my shop....

Swell, really swell....

[TB Roye]

AH *%#@!!!!! Been there done that. Like I have said before
"Done right Done twice" How did you fix it ? Or how many feet did you have to pull out of the conduit?

Sure hope those posts you had to cut off weren't for anything important...

I thought I heard some loud cursing coming from the southwest.......

[shoottx]

I think that is classified as an OOPS!

Been there - Done that - the T shirt made a good rag!

It wasn't all that bad to fix, I had only pulled it through the first of the last three 10' sections making the final run to the shop. Pretty stupid move though. Surprisingly, I didn't even cuss (which is very unusual). I just laughed out loud for several minutes. Moron and f'n idiot were uttered too.

The panel is in place and hot. I didn't even make any sparks or electrocute myself. The first branch circuit run was for the A/C. It's going to be really nice not running extension cords across the yard anymore.

I knew somebody would put this here, and I figured it would be you, C-Man...

I have some questions too now that you brought it up

1. Where is the other piece of conduit?
2. Why is the conduit above ground and sticking up in the air to catch water?
3. Is the conduit on the left eletrical or white drain pipe? Hard to tell in the picture.
4. What kind of wire is that? You did have the wires color tagged someplace on both ends of that run since they are all gray... right? Not to mention that you should really run a 4 wire service to an outbuilding, but that is debatable by some.

Don't mind me... I just notice things like this because of the job I have.

The conduit to the right is coming down from the soffit on the corner of the house. The other conduit on the left was getting pushed/pulled along the last 30' straight run to the shed. They were all joined and sealed once I pulled the cable back around that 4' steel pipe heavy duty canoe rack.

The cable is a 6-3 UF-B with ground.

I bought a UF cable because I intended on not running conduit to the shop. I ran into a bunch of large roots when digging the trench, and they kept getting bigger on the way down. That tree isn't doing very well and I really didn't want to go hacking the root system up. I put it in condiut because the cable was a lot shallower than I would prefer.

You forgot to cut the poles down first?

I don't want to rain on your parade but..
Does you local code allow pvc conduit to be run on the ground with UF-B cable run inside of it? There is the issue with cable inside conduit, generally not acceptable except in short runs for physical protection. PVC conduit generally has to be buried or attached to the building/structure. Being plastic it needs some type of protection and should be schedule 80 when it's that exposed. 10 years from now when it is nice and brittle and the weed wacker hits it...
