I recently completed a 30x50 shop/garage, not used for daily drivers, but hot rods/project cars located in the Huntsville (northern) AL area.There is an 18x8 door on the 30’ gable end facing east, and a 10x8 door centered on the south side 50' wall, both doors themselves are insulated as well as...

I am installing 2 new circuits for a heater, 220/30 amp, and a 220/50 amp for my inverter TIG welder. I had on hand some 8/3 and 6/3 wire, and didn't even think of the neutral wire when I pulled it. I don't need a neutral in either applications. What should I do with it? Beginning at the...
