6/3 wire to sub panel 60 amp. Good morning everyone, I have a 6/3 NMWU wire I like to hook up from my main panel to the sub panel. The wire goes through my crawl space 50 feet not buried then into a pvc pipe 2 feet underground 20 feet then to my sub panel. I have a plasma cutter that operates 44 amp 230v single phase and a compressor 15am 120v ...
I'm going to be running 6/3 wire in my attic up from the interior panel (in my laundry room) into the attic and down into my garage. Do I need to run it in conduit or is it ok to just run it and anchor it to the floor joist or similar every 4' or so? None of the other wiring in the attic has any sort of protection on it including the 4 gauge feeder wires that come from the exterior main ...
Once inside the house, either continue with PVC conduit to the panel, or have a large junction box and splice to 6/2 NM-B cable. If you do need neutral, use three THWN #8 wires, and a BARE #10 copper ground. That will just barely fit inside 1/2" IMC conduit. Though 3/4" would be easier to pull. THWN wire is allowed a higher thermal rating, so ...
Help identifying 8/3 AWG NM-B vs 6/3 AWG NM-B. I am getting a new kitchen range installed with specs that require a 50 amp dedicated circuit. My current kitchen range line is using a copper wire with 3 wires (black,red,white) + ground split off from the sheathing inside my breaker box. The breaker on the line right now is 40 amp which matches ...
Hi all, What is the proper way of attaching 6/3 NM-B to wooden joists? For the life of me I cannot find a staple that is listed for that size. The closest I've come are staples that specifically list #6 service entrance cables. Trying to find a proper way that actually lists 6/3 to avoid any inspection problems. Thanks!
1427 posts · Joined 2013. #1 · Sep 13, 2016. I need to splice in a junction box a 6/3 with ground Romex cable feeding a subpanel. Will the plastic box with the two Romex connectors be ok/code? This junction box will be screwed to stick built floor trusses and be fully accessible in unfinished basement. Thanks.
Running 6/3 cable-do I need conduit? I want to the rough wiring for a new electric range. I will use 6/3 cable on a 50 amp circuit. I want to run the cable across my attic joists. I could cut holes in the joists, but I would prefer not to disturb the integrity of the joists. Therefore, I will run the cable on top of the joists.
Splicing on 6 gauge wire. I recently added a new line for my electric dryer by splicing into a 6/3 wire carrying 220V to my electric range. Its all said and done now (and working fine), but my father-in-law was concerned that splicing into a 220V line might not be up to code.
I have watched my Pappaw Blow a string in a pipe the pull wire back through it. Well I bought roll of liquid tite 3/4" for this 6/3 wire and it goes in easy / plenty of room in the end but hangs up after a few feet.
I'm running a 60 amp sub to my detached garage. I have #6 THW for my underground and was planning on continuing it inside in 1" conduit back to the box. Can I use 6/3 romex inside instead? I've heard individual connectors are rated higher then Romex is and 6/3 might not be large enough. Is that the case?
