Sep 15, 2020 · Probably an overkill I tried the big wire nuts and for some reason they didn't seem as secure, it was hard to get them pre-twisted nice and tight. May be someone can explain how to pre-twist #6 stranded to #6 solid, solid to solid, or stranded to stranded then apply the wire nuts.

Jun 11, 2024 · 6 AWG NMD90 cable from the subpanel to a disconnect switch in the same room as the air handler. 6 AWG NMD90 cable from the disconnect switch to a junction box about three feet from the air handler. 6 AWG RW90 run in flexible conduit from …

Dec 14, 2020 · When I was looking into putting an audio amp into my 2014 Chevy Impala, I had to think about running #6 wire through my firewall. With that said, in order to splice or connect those 6-guage wire segments U had to use an all inclusive copper butt connection that housed a hex-style set screw so that when I inserted the #6 stranded copper wire it ...

Oct 20, 2012 · Also there was no 3rd 6 gauge wire. Instead what was matched up with the 6 gauge cable was only 10 gauge wire. So for the 8 gauge ground wire from my subpanel, I spliced that to the 10 gauge ground and also the 12 gauge ground wire coming from my main panel. I put all of this behind a two-pole 30 amp circuit breaker. Will that be OK?

Nov 20, 2008 · 3 #6's and a #10 will install easily in 3/4" AL flex provided you install the wire first. Get your length, cut your flex and conductors, push a fish into the straight flex, attach the wires and pull them thru.

Aug 26, 2009 · For example, my electric oven has a fuse that protects the APPLIANCE ONLY from overcurrent exceeding the rated capacity of the appliance, this has nothing to do with protecting the wiring. As long as the wire is sufficiently sized to match the breaker, i.e. #12 wire with a 20A breaker, #10 with 30A etc., that meets code as I understand it.

Jul 8, 2018 · Plan-A was to run a new 6/3 copper line, but the route is extremely problematic. Plan B became: splice aluminum to aluminum 6 gauge in the crawl-space then run to a receptacle under stove-top inside cabinet - add a plug to Stove-top thereby avoiding the direct Alum to Copper problem. My questions/concern center around the Au wire splice and ...

Jun 17, 2018 · The romex would run across my garage ceiling for a bit and I’d have to drill the the bottom board of my rafters to run the wire for probably 2/3rds of the garage. The car charger itself can pull a max of 48 amps from the 60 amp circuit just to be clear.

Oct 14, 2023 · 6 gauge wire instead of 2 will make things much much smaller. Since this plug clearly can have a neutral that carries load, 3-wire romex seems like the simplest solution. If sticking to 40 amps, it seems I could do 8/3 Romex (if that exists).

Mar 17, 2024 · A copper wire so attached to the water pipe and connected to the service panel neutral can satisfy #2 as a bonding jumper although in some cases it has to be 4 gauge copper. The 6 gauge ground wire does not satisfy #3 because the EGC path may not include a piece of plumbing other than the water pipe grounding electrode proper.
