subpanel

I would install a subpanel with a 100A main breaker, fed by 2-2-2-4 mobile home feeder cable in 1.5" conduit, protected by a 70 or 90A breaker in the main panel.

The subpanel will need a separate grounding terminal and an isolated neutral terminal. You will need 1 or 2 ground rods driven at the shop, connected with at least a #6 Cu wire to the grounding terminal of the subpanel.
