1. [Shop-talk] Gauge of wire (score: 1): Author: eric@megageek.com; Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2011 21:22:15 -0500; I need to run a 50amp circuit about 50 or 60 feet. A calculator on the web says that 55' of 50amp circuit would require 10# wire. Does that sound right? Anyone know what the code states? Here is the; /html/shop-talk/2011-02/msg00075.html (6,593 bytes)
2. Re: [Shop-talk] Gauge of wire (score: 1): Author: Mark Andy <marka@maracing.com>; Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2011 23:09:34 -0500 (EST); That sounds pretty light to me. Rule of thumb says a 30A circuit needs 10 gauge, IIRC. In my house, I'd probably use 6 gauge for that run. Watch the calculators, because they sometimes assume things; /html/shop-talk/2011-02/msg00077.html (7,304 bytes)

When I was teaching house wiring in a HS vocational setting, we used #10 for 30 Amp driers. I do not remember what size we used for the range. It was either #6 or #8.
