Replacing electric panel in shed
I recently bought a cottage that has an electric panel in the shed located about 50 feet from the main cottage.
I believe it is 60Amp sub panel, but it could be 30Amp.
My issue is that inside the shed there are aluminum wires used - ALOOMEX NMD-7 12/2.
- Should I change the wires if they are aluminum?
- Some of the wires are exposed and some are shielded. Should all wires in the shed be shielded, as they will be open (not under drywal)?
- Can you recommend DIY friendly sub-panel box with 30Amp. I will have in the shed - 1 outlet, 1 led light (30W) , and 1 led motion light (30W). So really at this point, I need just one, probably a 15A circuit.
- As this is a shed, should I get GFCI breakers?
.
.
TIA!
