At the weekend I successfully rewired my electric stove.
I replaced the 50 amp breaker and upgraded the cable to 3 wire 6 gauge with ground Romex. I installed a 4 conductor receptacle and a new range cord. I disconnected the neutral/ground jumper in the range.
I made the connection to the main panel. I cut the outer sleeve of the new cable away but left a few inches inside the panel. I know most people cut the outer sleeve of cables in the panel right up to the cable clamp.
Am I OK with a little too much sleeve on the cable in the main panel? Or is there a danger I have overlooked?
