Default What size ground wire?


"Caesar Romano" wrote in message
...
Hello all,

I need to convert a 50A 3-prong range receptacle to a 4-prong range
receptacle, so I need to run a 50' ground wire from the receptacle to
the ground buss. Can anyone tell me what size ground wire to use? Is
it the same size as the conductors?

Thanks.

If the conductors in the cable are # 10, 8, or 6, you would use a #10
grounding conductor
