Re: 220 plug needed
Well, I'm pulling 45 amps to my oven.
I went to the hardware store and purchased 6/3 wire.
I made a run of about 70' and have had no problems, but this has only been for a day. I don't see any problems in the future though.
Just a tip for those of you who are going to be making long runs with large wire.
Around here 6/3 wire is $1.95 per foot if you buy it only by the foot.
If your going to make a long run, say over 60' and you have a little extra cash and think you may wire a welder or something else later, buy a roll of it because its about $70.00 cheaper to buy it in a 125' roll.
