Guys,
I have a licensed contractor who is installing an outdoor kitchen at my house. (Houston Texas)
They are licensed, bonded, insured, and a reputable outfit.....so they are not fly by nighters.
So, Here is the question..
Can a 60 amp single pole breaker installed into main panel be used to feed a 60 amp sub-panel?
Creating a 60 amp single pole main breaker within the sub-panel at my outdoor kitchen.
For the Sub-feed, they used 6-2 wire (1 blk, 1 wht, and 1 grd), and ran it in grey plastic conduit about 40 feet and into the outdoor kitchen structure (up through the concrete foundation).
I am not an electrician.....more of a DIY'er
But, I am not completely electrical ignorant either,
I just cannot figure out why they didn't run a 6-3 wire so that a 2 pole 60 amp breaker could be used on both ends.
Unless it was to save money on the difference between 6-3 and the 6-2 wire installed....
Is anyone familiar with an installation of this nature?
Is this right?
Skip :huh:
