Nema 14-50 receptacle needed?

[Maquis]

One brand or another always seems to be on sale cheap. Midwest was owned by GE and I don't know what happened to them really with all the corporate chaos there. One nice thing about those particular panels was that they were actually listed for use with most other brands of physically compatible breakers, since Midwest never sold branded breakers.

Cheapest option I can find right now is the Square D at $70.

That’s a bargain - same one I showed from Home Depot for $125.

Milbank as another brand that you could often get cheap, but I haven’t seen them lately.

Ok so I am getting the 14-50 receptacle added (on its own circuit.). One quick question prior to install this Friday. I know the FCSP instructions call for 3 gauge wire, but that is for 80 amp charge/100amp breaker. With my current situation, I will be set up for 48 amps charging/60 amp breaker. Will 6 gauge copper wire be sufficient for this setup? Thanks in advacne.

#6 THHN in conduit or MC is fine. #6 NM (Romex) is only rated for 55 amps.
