To connect a welder about 15 feet from breaker box. The welder says
primary amps 40. A wire chart on a website shows #6 as 37.5 amps.
Will #6 be close enough or should I use #4? I know the welder will
not be drawing full amperage most of the time, only on spikes.

Thanks

The last one In retrospect dumping the salt OUT OF the bags into wheel
barrow ( clean) spreading around the pool with shovel might of been a better
idea, to bad I didn't think of that.
