Do you need a main disconnect on the feeder wires running to a detached garage running from the box in the house?
Yes you do. The detached garage will either be fed with a single circuit or a sub panel. The wire feeding the garage will need to be protected and that is the purpose of the breaker (disconnect). The breaker size will be determined by the size of the wire that is used on this circuit.
What gauge wire to use for direct burial for a garage that is 400 feet from your house?
Depends on the size of the sub-panel in that garage. If you are installing a 60 amp sub-panel 400 feet away from the main service panel then use AWG # 4.
What size wire should be used from main panel to 50 watt subpanel?
#6 wire is needed. If placing the subpanel in a garage at a good distance, it is recommended to also install a seperate ground rod .
What is the largest size ground wire that can be used for a panel?
Use #10 copper.
What size ground wire needed for a 200amp service panel in new jersey?
#6 bare copper wire.
