    #6 is good but apparantly only up to certain length of run. We put in a 50 amp RV plug 160 feet from our panel and were advised to use #4 wire. We still used the #6 Teck as I already had it and so far its worked fine. Nonetheless, the advice from various sources was to go #4.

  • @joeybalogny6095

    160 foot run you will have a minimal voltage drop 119.86 volts at end of run 0.12% voltage drop no 4 THHN is good for 70 amps that is great you will never have any issues and have plenty of amperage most trailers 5th wheels wont ever need more than fifty if you were to amp each leg with everything on probably 17 amps per leg cost is a factor also wire is very expensive

    Thank you for the video. Great info. For a new install I think this would be a great option, the flush mount. But there are times were surface mount is also a viable option, such as panel upgrades. Where time/money difference is not worth it just because of the aesthetics. But I do agree it looks nicer.

    The world runs on code violations. I've never lived in a house that didn't have multiple. this is still infinitely better than what was there before. Risk vs. reward, especially if you are a DIYer like me. I got quoted 45k to replace the remaining K+T in my house (and some low voltage switching). Instead I'm going to run a single 12/3 up into the attic to power the bedrooms. 6 receptacles + lights. Two 20a opposite legs. Master bed gets 1 leg, other two rooms gets the other leg to share. Should be able to handle lights, TVs (if they are ever installed) and the window AC units. Going to start with it running in parallel and put a plastic jbox everywhere the old K+T has a tap (usually just to a switch/light combo). Once everything is ran and voltage tested, I can migrate all of the devices over time in case it takes a few days. Once that is done I can airseal and better insulate the attic space, then look into getting a service upgrade and some minisplits for the home. My entire house is a code violation. But it keeps me safe and dry. I replace a single branch at a time.

    Thank you Joey , It's especially important on circuits that use two different wire sizes such as 12 and 14 gauge wire , I'll take a piece of white electrical tape and write on it , Do not exceed 15 amps and put it on the wire in the panel and you are absolutely correct on sizing the breaker for the smaller wire size to be code compliant , two years ago I was visiting my younger brother and I noticed that he had a small fuse box in the garage that has screw in fuses and was fed from the breaker panel So looked at it and found 30 amp fuses in there and pointed it out to him and opened up the fuse box and checked the wire gauge coming off each fuse and sure enough the wire gauge was 14 , and I said to him that you absolutely cannot exceed 15 amps because of the wire gauge and showed it to him with the fuse box open and by putting 30 amp fuses in there , You have no electrical protection and can very easily start a fire Another thing is that parts of his house has knob and tube wiring and it's very rare that you'll find 12 gauge wire in knob and tube wiring , So at least he understood the danger of a fire by using 30 amp fuses and I got rid of them and put 15 amp fuse in there Not once have I come across a fuse box that had the right size fuses in there and change them out and put in the right size fuses

    One day , Me and this one ladyfriend of mine went to her daughter's house to replace a few receptacles that were bad and install a ceiling fan in the master bedroom , when replacing the bad receptacles , We found 12 gauge wire coming from the circuit breaker panel to the first receptacle in the kitchen because we had to find the first receptacle to replace it with a GFCI receptacle to GFCI protect the other receptacles on that particular circuit using the load side of the GFCI receptacle , But anyway , We found 14 gauge wire going to the other receptacles and it had a 20 amp breaker in the breaker panel , We have also found 12 and 14 gauge wire on two other circuits , So when I pointed it out to my ladyfriend , She definitely agreed to replace those breakers with 15 amp breakers and exactly like you said , The circuit breaker has a be sized to the smaller wire , So we opened up the breaker panel and replaced the breakers , Whenever I go into a circuit breaker panel , As standard procedure , I go over the entire panel and inspect every wire for signs of overheating and I take my insulated screwdriver and check every connection to make sure it's tight and found a couple of loose neutral wires on the neutral bar and found one ground wire not connected , I explained to my ladyfriend that whenever you go into a circuit breaker panel , Always check all the wiring in the panel and using an insulated screwdriver , Check all the connections to make sure they're tight , And make that a standard procedure for yourself as well and she said she'll do that from now on , My ladyfriend has alot of knowledge with electricity and if she's doing electrical work and not sure of something , She'll ask me Yes , I have found loose connections in other breaker panels and took care of it and that's why I made it a standard procedure whenever I go into a circuit breaker panel Also whenever I find 12 and 14 gauge wire being used on the same circuit I mark the wires in the panel Do not exceed 15 amps so if somebody else happens to replace that breaker , Not to exceed 15 amps

    We call your battleships Madison bars. Best pratice is to install long leg day on bottom then opposite side facing up to distribute load. If using traditional screw terminal devices ( switches & receptacles) best pratice is to apply several wraps of quality ( none of the cheating POS Chinese tape ) around them to.prrvent one of the legs from shorting out. Have come across the legs on Madison bars shorting out months or years after they were installed because person did not use the needle nose pliers liked you showed to get a tight bend. By the way Madison bars come in at least two leg lengths. In hospital elevator & fire escapes have encountered three sheets of 5/8" sheet rock and 2" thick guess three hour fire rated special sheet rock that regular Madison bar legs were too short.

    In general 20A circuit requires 12AWG wire. Sometimes larger gauge (ie 10 AWG) for longer runs to compensate for voltage drop. There are charts for this online. But 14AWG wire is insufficient for a 20A circuit. The purpose of a circuit breaker is to protect the wire.

    No#12 works with 20 amps if you have no#14 on a 15 amp breaker you will need to upgrade the wire to no#12 some homeowners cant afford to upgrade there wire they unplug some things and plug into another circuit then they have more balanced circuits so there not tripping breakers.
