Location: Hastings, mn, 55033 | I have two inline 40 amp manual reset breakers that I had wired to my old set up. Can I wire through one of those or will the 40 amp not be sufficient?
Also, the new plug and receptacle I picked up(ConnectPro) only accept up to 8 gauge wire. To use 6 gauge I need to buy a different one. I measured the distance I'll be running the wires and it is 11 feet. Will there be safety issues if I use the 8 gauge? How much performance loss will I get if using 8 gauge instead of 6 over that distance?
I want to do this right since I'm doing it. Just that I have all the wire, plug/receptacle, connectors etc to rig it up with the 8 gauge, so if it isnt a safety issue and I wont get a significant drop in performance I might just go ahead and run the 8.
