The wire size ranges from #12 to #2 depending on which terminal in the receptacle you are talking about. The line conductors (black and red), and neutral (white) can range from #12 to #8 for solid wire, and from #12 to #4 stranded. The equipment ground can range from #12 to #2. This means that the terminal inside the receptacle is listed for wires this size. If you are using the receptacle at it's rated amperage of 50 amps then use #6 line and neutral conductors. The ground should be #10. They allow the use of bigger conductors to overcome voltage drop due to long lengths of run for the circuit.
This will work with your RV IF...IF you wire it correctly. You should have four wires coming to this outlet, two 120 V lines (typically one black and one red wire but can be both black), one white wire (neutral) and a ground wire. It is crucial that ALL NEW installations be checked with a volt meter. The voltage between X and Y should be 240-Volt, X and W 120-Volt, Y and W 120-Volt, X and G 120-volt, Y and G 120-volt, W and G 0-Volt. Always check ALL outlets before plugging in the first time. "Your RV must be thought of as one very large 120-volt appliance. Even certified electricians who are unfamiliar with RVs can mistakenly assume an enormous RV is a 240-volt appliance, but plugging it into a 240-volt supply will destroy all appliances and accessories, and can cause fire. A wrongly-wired 50-amp service can introduce 240 volt electricity to your RV with the same results."
No. This is designed for 240 V connections like an EV Charger or RV connection. It can deliver 120V as well but that is by using the common (white wire). Also, I think you should consult an electrician. You wire may not be big enough to support 50 Amps.
Yes. I installed 6/ 3 with ground (4 wires) without issue. Various size Knock outs on the box to suite your needs.
Holy cow, everyone mentions the obvious "come out of the top" and "you need a hub"...yet no one here gives the Type of Hub needed. Good job guys, not only people here but the manufacturer also does not mention the Hub Type on their specs...geez. Pulling teeth
Yes the receptacle comes installed in the box. That is why it is critical that you properly match it to your requirements.
First of all in theory the answer is YES. However make sure that you do so CORRECTLY using the appropriate size wire (I suggest you use 6GA THHN wire). This should all be done using Conduit and single conductors instead of using 6/3 cable with a ground as in is not permissible by code to run the cable unprotected between outlets. Also be sure to ground the enclosure and that the circuit is protected by the appropriate 50AMP 2 Pole breaker.
It is a concern of distance as there is a voltage drop over a hundred feet anything less I wouldn't worry about 10 gauge for 30 amp 8 gauge for 40 amp 6 gauge for 50 amp so 4 gauge so number two is going to push you up to like 80 amps do you know I'm saying 75 or 80 amps and I don't know that they make a charger that big in the case that you still wanted to use bigger wire on a smaller breaker I would just trim a couple of the strands to fit into the breaker as that's not going to affect its performance on a lower voltage breaker if you went to a higher breaker I would just cut that end off that you had snip those wires us having brand new wires to insert into the breaker
Yes, but use a plastic snap in bushing - 3/4".
Replace with anew circuit breaker box.
