Hello, I am trying to wire my 60 amp 230v welder.
I will not be installing a sub panel.
A total distance of 30 ft from panel to outlet
The questions I have is.
1. what advantages/diss advantage to using 6ga #2 over thhn (vise versa)
2. the wires will not be inside the wall
3. why is thhn #6 rated for 65 amps when the #6 sheathed wire rated for 55 (atleast by a menards chart)
4. is 6ga the proper size for this load and distance ?
5. would it be smart to put a 60amp sub panel where I want the outlet and then connect the oulet to the sub panel or is that not needed
Thanks for all your help
