Thank you for the offer, but I think I would cut the power off just to be safe. I found a few youtube videos of folks installing breakers for 220v welders. It didn't seem terrible, just three wires, two hot and a ground.

will stranded wire clamp just fine out of the outlet?

If you use stranded wire it will need to be in conduit. Personally I'd use a short piece of Romex so it doesn't need to be in conduit. Where are you in FoCo? I might be able to stop by and give you a hand. If you are not familiar with working with electricity I'd recommend you shut off the entire panel before doing any work.

Im now in severance. I wouldn't mind someone knowing what they are doing, ide just need to get the supplies from the hardware store. I do intend to switch the main off regardless, just for safety.

I am in Timnath, not far from Severance. Get all the parts together and we can figure out a time. You should be able to just use the panel type to find a breaker.

I grabbed the same type of breaker as the 40A, I assume it's the same as the brand was identical with the 50A, build looks the same.
Haha I haven't been so lost in a hardware store for a long time, kinda fun looking for stuff I've never sought out before.

Did you ever get this in?

[4x4JeePmaNthINg]

No not yet, I believe i have everything though, I'll post parts pic in a bit just to check

am I missing anything? will need a saw for drywall, but that's about it.

[Jim]

If all you need to cut for the drywall is for the workbox, then a Jab Saw would be high on the list. Draw your cut-line on the drywall for the workbox, press tip of blade against drywall - smack with a free hand the end of the saw to push it through - start sawing - done.

I'm was on a wiring project today - five workbox locations - easy and done.

[newracer]

That type of wire will need to be run in conduit and if you are running conduit you do not need the NM/SEU connectors or the wire staples. You might need a different box too.

[4x4JeePmaNthINg]

Solid wire instead?

[newracer]

Yes and it needs to be in a sheath like this.



You should still be able to buy it by the foot. I might even have some scrap. How much do you need?

[4x4JeePmaNthINg]

Do they make 8awg wire in shielded strands like that?

I believe I bought what I got from Lowe's cuz it was the only 8awg 50amp rated stranded wire they had. I bought 5ft sections just for versatility pending where I chose to place the outlet.

What type of wire is that called?

Romex wire
