Shhh but in a pinch I've used a "strand"--twisted together from 3 individual
pieces of #12 or 14 copper.


:-)
I get the message. I won't cheap out. My credit card is feeling the
strain though.

Still looking around for some #2 or bigger. I've got a lead on some
#4 wire.

My plan, after all the advice is to put a single phase 100A subpanel
in the garage.
That subpanel will have a breaker for the RPC.
