Nov 13, 2011 · I'm installing a sub-panel for a new addition. My load calc suggests a 50amp load for the sub-panel. So, I'm planning a 50amp feeder breaker in the main panel with #6 feeder wire to the sub-panel. But, the local retail stores don't carry (Siemens) panels smaller than 100amp. I checked with the...

Jun 1, 2008 · I need to run 50' of wire to carry at least 60 amps (220) to the subpanel in my attached workshop, and the cost of the wire is presently keeping that project on hold. I can get a used length of twisted, 100-amp (outdoor overhead) service wire from a friend for virtually nothing, and I am asking...

Dec 31, 2021 · As wwhitney suggest, changing wire type during a run can be difficult. What is the model number of the EV charger? What does the installation instructions recommend for breaker and wire gauge? The 6 AWG you mentioned, it that AL or CU. I'm assuming its copper. 6 AWG is a fat cat and using the right clamps and covering can get complicated.

Oct 31, 2007 · Just went out this morning and bought 6/3 wg romex. Now about the limited amount of slots in my main panel. I am planning to replace the two inch 30amp 2 pole dryer breaker with a 1" and use a 1" 50 amp 2 pole brkr in the empty slot to feed the 6/3 conductors. Any objections with that?

Nov 30, 2014 · Hi all, We just purchased a hot tub and are now waiting for it to come in and planning out the electrical. We currently have a 200a main panel. In that there's a 50a/double pole breaker feeding a subpanel directly underneath it with #6 AWG wire. The subpanel has a 60a transfer switch in it (not...

Apr 26, 2010 · If I'm reading the NEC table correctly, 3/4" PVC conduit can have up to (3) 6 AWG conductors. Does this mean that no other conductors can be present, or can I also have a 10 AWG grounding conductor in the conduit?

Jun 8, 2016 · FWIW, with 6g wire, you could support up to a 40A EVSE (80% rule, 50A circuit). The circuit breaker is to protect the wiring, so with 6g wire, you could just install a 50A breaker.

Oct 12, 2017 · I am installing a used hot tub that requires a 50 amp circuit. I have run 6/3 w ground cable to the disconnect (about 30'). My question is about what is required for the ground between the disconnect and the hot tub. The hot tub equipment is bonded by a #8 solid bare wire to the ground lug on...

Feb 20, 2009 · Kohler 1733 residential steam shower generator. 240 V, 50/60 Hz, 50 A Rated an 9kW 6/2 or 8/2 gauge and what type(s) or wire?

Feb 7, 2011 · Over the years, I have noticed that on some romex type wire and some extension cords have a ground wire that is smaller then the load wires. I always thought it was correct to have the same gauge wires. When is a smaller ground wire ok?
