I'm on an apartment complex where they are installing multiple ranges. One for each unit, fed by a panel dedicated to each specific unit. They call for 50A breaker, (3)#6awg (1)#10awg to fed a 50A receptacle (14-50r). Over sized I know, its what they wanted, not a big deal.
When the ranges and the cords show up. I grab a whip to double check the receptacles where compatible. This is where it gets fuzzy for me. The bag says UL listed 40A 125/250V range power cord. The plug it?s self is stamped with 40A 125/250V with the cord containing (2)#8awg (2)#10awg.
I'm getting more of a cold shoulder from the equipment guys "hasn't been an issue before". I wanted to make sure before I go to the owner I'm not missing something. I'm trying to help the owner out, I would prefer not to come back looking like an idiot because there is some exception or loop hole.
