Questions & Answers
I plan on replacing the existing wire from the circuit breaker to the 3 pronged outlet for an electric dryer (approximately 20-24 ft from the circuit breaker. Will this be suitable?
Hello, thank you for your question. This answer will require a more technical response. Please reach out to our technical team at cableteachsupport@southwire.com for a detailed explanation of your question.
8/2 there are two hot wires [ black & red ] and one ground wire?
No red wire. Just black, white & bare ground wire. You could use the white wire as red for 2-hot & one ground wire.
Hi there, and thanks for reaching out! We'd like to hear more about your question, so that we can ensure that we're providing the most accurate answer. Please reach out to our dedicated team at consumersupport@southwire.com and we'll be happy to help.
is this 8/2 suitable for a Mr Cool 36K 230/35 amps
is the ground wire also stranded and 8 awg or soild and 10 awg ?
will this run a miller 251 welder 75 feet from the panel?
This wire is rated for 40 amps and 600 volts. A Miller 251 welder can draw significantly more than 40 amps, especially at higher output settings. Using this wire for a Miller 251 could lead to overheating and potential fire hazards. You should consult a qualified electrician to determine the correct wire size and type for your welder and specific application. They can help ensure your setup is safe and meets code requirements.
Can this 6-2 be pulled throug condoit outdoors?
No. Conduit outdoors will still get wet inside due to condensation. This wire is rated for dry use only.
Will this wire work for a 240 volt 30 amp mig welder or should I use 8/3?
you have to use 8/3 or 10/3. If the circuit is less than 100 feet long you can go with 10/3 if nothing else on that circuit.
Do i have to buy the whole 125ft of #8 remics
No, you don't have to buy the whole 125ft. This 8/2 Romex SIMpull wire is sold as a 125ft roll, but you can cut it to the desired length for your project.
