The CFO has me converting the old laundry closet in the kitchen into a pantry. The laundry room is in what used to be the garage - it all happened before we bought the house.
The 30A dryer breaker for the old laundry closet is avaiable, and the project involves opening up one of the walls where the wire needs to run.
So I am going to run the wire for a 30A shore power point in the course of the pantry project.
I was looking on line for wire sizes and voltage drop over distance and I am kind of torn on wire size/type.
The length is going to be about 25 feet. I think I could skrimp and use 10AWG wire, but for the price difference I don't mind using 8AWG.
The closest place to get stuff like that is the local Home Depot, and they only have 8/3 w/ground in stranded wire. Is that what I am supposed to use, or does someone sell solid 8/3 w/g wire, and would that would be better?
