Hi Everyone,
I am so confused right now on the copper wire I need. I have been reading and watching videos but when I went to buy the wire today, the electrician told me something else so I just wanted to confirm on here.
I have a 200 amp panel.
I will need to run 50 ft of wire from my panel in the basement to my garage. I have found it for about $22 CDN a metre so it seems to be in line with what I have been reading.
However, I was under the assumption that I needed 6/2 or 6/3 Romex but the guy at the electrical shop said that I would be better off going with 6/3 Teck wire. I don't know if Teck goes by a different name or something, but when I google 'teck wire Tesla' or similar, nothing pops up. Literally no one talks about it which is why I wonder If it goes by a different name elsewhere.
If it is fine, what breaker would I need, 60 amp?
