Wiring EMS-HW50C Hardwire 50 Amp RV Surge Protector
I bought awg 6-3 with ground from Lowes to hook up the EMS to my panel. The ground wire is 10 gauge. Will this work or should I buy a 6 gauge ground and not use the 10 gauge?

- Thanks everyone. 10 gauge it is.
- When I did my 50/30/20 amp pedestal, I ran 3 of the 6g current carrying wires (black, white and red), and a 10g ground. Of course, I used a 50 amp breaker in the breaker panel even though the pedestal was good for an 80 amp breaker. The wires weren't.
- #10 for ground is plenty as there is no current there.
- #10 ground is fine
- 6-3 should be 3 wires with 6 gauge and 1 with 10 gauge. I would match the size of wire going into your circuit box.
