We are having a house built and we just went though the pre drywall meeting. The electrician installed 6/3 wire in my garage to the panel in the basement. There are no breakers in the panel yet but I assume he is going to put a 50amp breaker in since he is using 6/3 rated at 55amps. I talked to the PM about re-running the correct wire for a 60amp breaker but it will cost extra. He hinted that after inspections are done on Monday, I could come in and run the correct wire before any drywall goes up in the garage, so I will probably do this myself he just asked to not hook anything up and he will have the electrician check and finish the work , I'm just not sure what wire I should use. Once drywall goes up everything will be enclosed and the run from the garage to the basement is about 40'.
If I just decide to leave the 50amp breaker can I set the charge to 44amps on that 50amp breaker?
