I think I’m doing this correctly but flipping the breaker causes main panel 200A service disconnect to trip, indicating a short or I’m overloading the panel (I’m not)
I had electricians run 50ft of 6 AWG wire from main panel and they installed a 50A breaker. Heat pump hadn’t arrived yet which is why it’s not wired.
Plumber got the plumbing working but now have to wait a week or two for electricians to come back and wire the heat pump. I thought maybe I could do this myself.
They brought four wires from main panel, two blacks, a white and a green. I installed a 60A non fusible disconnect and connected the two black wires. I connected green to the disconnect ground. I ran a whip from heat pump with 6 AWG red and black to disconnect and 8 AWG green. Connected red and black to HP L1 and L2 and green to ground. Connected other end to service disconnect.
I’m thinking I did all I could and should wait for them to come back, but just wanted to throw this out in case someone spots something easy I can try.
thoughts?
