Hello,
I'm planning to setup the Home charger in my garage installing the Nema 14-50R outlet to get 29 miles per hour charge. I'm going to hire an electrician to do this work for me. The below are my questions.
1. Can we use 60 Amp breaker instead of the 50 Amp breaker. The reason for this if later i decide to setup the Tesla gen 3 wall charger i can easily swap it instead of changing the 50 Amp breaker from the circuit box.? Just for future proof.
2. Can we use the Romex 6 Guage 6/3 wire with the 60 Amp breaker ?
3. I'm planning to setup outside my drywall using Conduit. Is the Romex 6 Guage 6/3 wire safe to use inside the conduit ? If we put it in a conduit can it shed heat effectively to avoid any fire?.
4. Instead of the Romex 6 Guage 6/3 wire should I use the THHN wire which are individual wires ?
Pls let me know. Thanks in advance.
