What gauge wire runs from the Onan to the 50 amp outlet? One of our coach's POs cut the original wire that runs through the armored conduit and installed a stranded wire that runs through hole drilled into the back wall of the generator compartment, up under the seat in the rear, behind the closet, and then finally into the 50 amp outlet (without a cable clamp to hold it to the junction box). It looks like a temporary job that became permanent because it initially wasn't even connected to the Onan's circuit breaker. Needless to say, I'm not enthused about it. I'm concerned that the wire gauge is too small, in addition to the unprotected route it takes.
I think the conduit is still intact, so I'd like to pull wire back through the conduit and reconnect it correctly. Some of gauge/amperage charts I've looked at recommend 6 gauge wire, and I'm assuming that's for stranded wire. Is this correct?
