Can a NEMA 14-50 receptacle be wired up with #10 wire ?
What if you doubled up each wire ?
Would that meet code ?
what if you found one wired up that way ?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Found a professional electrician to pull conduit and wire up 50 amp receptacle in garage. He stated that we needed #6 wire for the two mains, but that #10 wire could be used for the ground. All could be pulled in 1/2" conduit, but the conduit would be full and any additional wires would be overfill.
Not knowing the electrical code, Is this correct ?
Do you guys agree ?
I thought the ground was supposed to be the same size as the mains.
Also, 1/2" conduit won't be any fun to work with. Go bigger if you can.
