    8 gauge wire to 20 amp plug
    I have a hot tub with double 60 amp circuit I am trying to connect a newly built wood workshop with this power, how do I get the 6 gage wire to connect to a 20amp plug? I assume I need a junction somehow

    Will it still be connected to the hot tub? This would/should be a GFCI 60 amp breaker and may not be suitable for shop use depending on what tools you will use.
