Hi - my wall charger went in last night. my local electricians are good, but I'm concerned. when they quoted me back in June, I let them know I wanted 60 amps for the charger. the run was to be roughly 125 feet. i was told they'd use 4 gauge, i even thought there was talk of aught gauge. Yesterday, the workers installed 6 gauge on a 200 foot run, and 50 amps. i didn't quite flip out, but i'm hopping mad.
the company owner said when they come back out (they didn't install a load module for the generator) that they'd switch to 60 amps at the panel, that the wiring is fine). i do know they spliced or similar part way in the attic - so i think they went from 6 gauge individual wires to a triple 6 gauge wire that was spliced in a box in the attic. I know i'm not being clear - 3 individual conducts joining the combined 3 conductor (romex or whatever).
so, with a 200 foot run, will a 60 amp be safe?
thanks!!!!!
