Why is romex #6-3 ground wire size 10 and MC cable ground wire size #8 ? for running conductors in conduit, which size should I use ? Thank you
As they said above, conductors in MC have a higher ampacity than in NM for a given size.Why is romex #6-3 ground wire size 10 and MC cable ground wire size #8 ?
That depends on the load current. MC cable and individual wires have the same ampacity.for running conductors in conduit, which size should I use ?
