I just finished running the feed to the sub panel in my outdoor shed. I had the shed itself wired for about a year now and just got around to digging the ditch for the feed.
As I was wiring up the main breaker in the sub panel, I noticed that my 30A 240V circuit to my 30A outlet for the air compressor was wired with 10-2 instead of 10-3.
@#$%%^^!! WTH was I thinking when I did that?
Fortunately I noticed it before I tried hooking up the compressor.
Can I just get 25 feet of single #10 solid copper to run the second hot wire with, or do I need to yank out the 10-2 and replace it with 10-3? I guess the real question is, can you wire a circuit with 2 separate wires or does it need to all be within the same romex sheathing?
