Here's my situation.
My wife and I purchased our home this spring. On the back part of the property, there is a shop that has a subpanel that runs from the house. It has 2, 20 amp breakers for outlets and a 15 amp breaker for the LED lights.
There is also a 10×12 shed around 50 ft from the shop.
The previous owner ran 10/2 Uf-b wire in conduit from the shop to the shed but never hooked it up.
In other words, I have one end just sitting next to the sub panel in the shop and on the other end, a couple of feet coming into the side of the shed. Again, all in conduit until it reaches the inside of each building.
On the shed, my plans are to install l.e.d lights both inside and out and a couple outlets that will only be used to charge batteries for lawn tools.
My plan is to add an additional 20 amp breaker to the subpanel and attach the 10/2 wire.
Now, to my question.
On the inside of my shed, can I attach the 10/2 directly to a gfci outlet and run the outlets and lights from there, or should I run it to a small 30amp panel and add a couple of breakers to wire the outlets and lights?
Can 10/2 wire even be attached to the sub panel in the shed? I'm thinking maybe it should have been 10/3 for that another panel?
Hopefully, I have explained it well enough.
Thanks for your advice.
