Power Cord Question

McCuckerson said:

I scored 15' of 6awg 3/ground from my electrician neighbor. I only need 3' for the box to outlet connection, so I wanted to use the remaining 12' for a monstor main power cord to the box. I found a 50a plug that I can attach to the cable. The part where I am getting stumped is how to feed this through the control panel. I cannot find any feedthrus or bulkhead that will handle a one inch OD cable. Any suggestions?

Many thanks to Walker for finding a cheap 50a gfi breaker on ebay for me

McCuckerson....

Is the cord you got a nice, flexible, rubber sheathed power cord (similar to what Ed has coming out of the back of his control panel) or is it fairly inflexible, plastic sheathed wiring meant for running through the walls of a house?

edit: I don't remember finding you a GFCI breaker, but.... you're welcome, I guess.
