6/3 MC Cable – Heavy-Duty Metal Clad Cable for High-Load 120/240V Circuits
6/3 MC Cable is a rugged, metal-clad electrical cable designed for 60-amp 120/240V applications. It features three 6 AWG copper conductors and a ground wire, enclosed in a flexible aluminum armor. Ideal for subpanel feeders, large appliances, or EV charging stations, it delivers both power capacity and physical protection.
Typical Applications for 6/3 MC Cable
- Subpanel feeder circuits
- Large 120/240V electric ranges
- High-powered EV chargers
- Commercial HVAC systems
- Heavy-duty laundry appliances
Why Install 6/3 MC Cable?
- High Ampacity: Supports up to 60 amps at 240V
- Multi-Function Use: Delivers 120V and 240V with neutral conductor
- Quick Installation: No need for conduit in most cases
- Rugged Armor: Withstands impact, moisture, and corrosion in dry environments
- Code Compliant: Meets NEC and UL requirements for safety and performance
FAQs about 6/3 MC Cable
Q: What’s the difference between 6/3 and 6/2 MC Cable?
A: 6/3 includes a neutral wire (white), supporting both 120V and 240V loads. 6/2 only supports 240V without a neutral.
Q: Can I run this cable outdoors?
A: Not in its standard form. For outdoor or wet-location installs, use a PVC jacketed version or MC-HL cable.
Q: Does this include a grounding wire?
A: Yes. A bare or green equipment ground conductor is included.
