I have a 240 VAC portable heater with a 6-30 NEMA-style plug. I am finishing the 3rd floor of our house. I installed a sub panel fed with a 50A service using 6 AWG THHN. Installed a 30-amp 2-pole breaker in sub panel. 10/2 black and white to breaker poles, bare ground to ground bar inside sub panel.
Does the metal receptacle box need grounded?
Best Answer
Yes, ground the box
Ground the box as you would for any other metal box -- with a ground pigtail that matches the gauge of the ground wires inside.
