Thanks everyone for the help. I am familiar with the interlocks. I just installed one on the panel in my shop so I can run my well during an outage. The power goes out up where I live quite often and got tired of not having lights and water.

Yes, for my panel manufacture the interlock will be installed in the upper right corner. I’ll be moving a 40 amp breaker down to maker room for the 30 amp breaker I’ll be back feeding to my generator. The wire I’m feeding up through that conduit is for the 30 amp breaker.

Sorry guys, I should have been more clearer for you. It is a conduit chase that runs down to the crawl space. And there is a joist right next to it so it will be really easy to staple. Thanks again guys!

Hello everyone. I’m running a 10-3 with ground for a 30 amp breaker for a generator. I’m planning on using the bottom left opening which was put there when I had the house built. It runs into my 6 foot crawl space. My question is that after I run the wire through, there is still a ton of...

Hi wyliediesels, I think what happened after all the responses here, was the USE-2 by itself was not to be used in doors. The wire I have had an additional RHH rating and I think that’s where I got confused. I live out in the boonies and I didn’t want to make a long drive in town for a foot of...

Thanks a million for the help. I have both types of tape, so I’ll do that. It’s great to hear about the wire. I was concerned it wasn’t the right rating. Saves me a trip into Home Depot.

They are bare, so I will use the vinyl tape. I think the wire I mentioned in my OP will work for the extension. I am a little confused because some of the research I did said you can’t use the wire indoors, and other publications say you can. The only difference I can tell on the wire was the...

Thanks for the quick response guys. I was planning on using 2 in line **** splice al/cu 14-2 is what’s stamped on them. I was going to wrap them with electricians tape 5 or 6 times as well. They will be contained in the panel box. So you guys think I’m good to go on the wire? Thanks again guys!

I am putting in a 30 amp breaker where the 40 amp breaker is, so I can install an interlock device for a generator in the event of a power outage. Per my panel box manufacture, the 30 amp has to go in the upper right position for the interlock devise to work properly.

Hello everyone, new member here. I’m moving a 40 amp breaker in my panel box and don’t have enough wire to reach where I’m putting it. I have a spare 4 foot section of 6 awg aluminum wire. On the insulation it says the following, stabiloy AA-8000AL XLPE 600V USE-2 or RHH or RHW-2. I have...
