2/10 vs 3/10 EHERMS Wiring Setup
I have a 50 amp panel outlet in my garage, and I also came into possession of a 50 amp GFCI breaker for my box. The problem is that the outlet is a dryer outlet with 2 hots and 1 ground.
Before I call out an electrician to install the GFCI breaker that might not work for me, is there a way that I can run my single element pid controlled EHERMS rig on that 2/10 setup or do I need to have the 2 hots, 1 neutral, and 1 ground wiring in order to do that?
My original wiring setup was going to be this
, but Im curious if there is a way to do it without the neutral.
Will a 220 GFCI even work without a neutral?
I know the wire for the outlet was very recently installed, do they still run a lot of 2/10 or is it generally 3/10 these days?
