6 AWG Wire Used For 50 Amp Service
Many of our customers here at Wire & Cable Your Way are looking for electrical wire to service their new backyard woodshop, like this one shown above.
Our customer Steve, a skilled project engineer sent in these pics from a home project he recently completed. Steve needed to run 50 amp service from his main panel in his home to a 100 amp breaker box (shown below) in his new shop. Steve purchased our 6 AWG THHN/THWN Copper Building Wire for his project.
Here is what Steve had to say:
"I put in a 100A box in the new shop, but am only feeding it from a 50A breaker in the main panel from the house service. My loads will be significantly less than that to run various tools individually, as well as a compressor and vacuum. I needed to run about 95’ of 6awg 240V 50A service from my house panel out to a new woodshop, and being able to get 100’ 6 AWG THHN/THWN spools at a good price from you worked out well!"
Steve buried the 6 AWG THHN copper stranded wire inside a conduit which can be seen below:
