I have a power room where the generator, batteries and inverters are located. I have built a shop / house and have run 2.5" PVC conduit from the power room into the house on the North wall(roughly 65' underground). My breaker panel for the house is located in the garage. I plan on running a 14kW generator, roughly 63.5 amps. Math would suggest I need an 80a breaker, I am thinking 2 AWG aluminum for the ~65' run between the house and the power room. How do I get from the North wall in the house where the conduit ends over to the garage. Do I need a junction box on the North wall and transition over to copper for the in-wall run? Can I just extend the conduit in the walls through the joists and term at the breaker box?
This is new construction, so easy access to wall and floor joists. Most of the house is wired, but not terminated at the breaker box just yet.
Thanks.
