30 amp generator with 12 gauge wire?????
Ok, have a quick question for you electrical guys. I had to pull my Onan 4000 generator for some landing gear work. Noticed that the AC feed wires are 12 gauge and about 6' long before a junction box ...

This will probably get me booted, but here goes. You are completely wrong. The NEC says that you can not use a 30amp c/b on 12awg. Period. And 10awg can not have a c/b larger than a 30amp. Oh, and by the way I am not a "wannabe electrician" as you call some people. Statements like yours get me rialed up.
Rj's fishing alright... he's trolling. I don't waste my time quoting him.
IMHO... some folks posts around here, I heavily discount. Apply information from outliers suggestions from most posts at your own peril. Or ask for their professional qualifications.
Critical thinking skills should be applied to all posts, and all posters, for trend analysis.
