I am bidding a 100 Amp service for a new shed. The shed is 250' away from the house and is not connected to the house with any metalic objects (no water or gas lines etc.). The house is up on a wooded hillside above the shed, it will require 125' of trenched wire across the yard from the house, install a pole and run a stack up it to convert to overhead on the top edge of the steep wooded hill, continue the overhead to a post 75' down the hill and continue overhead to the stack on the shed.
Finally my question (s).
Per code, do I need to run 4 wire and treat this as a sub panel with no ground to neutral bond screw?
Or can I just run urd and triplex (3 wires) and sink a ground rod at the shed.
And if this option, do I install the bond screw and tie the neutral and ground together in the subpanel or leave it out?
Perhaps both methods meet code? If so the second is less expensive.
I don't have my code book here with me and I am not understanding the information I have managed to find online.
Thanks...
