2 #8 conductors with #10 ground
The heat pump installer used NM cable I had not seen before: the 3 condutors were #8 but the ground was #10.
Is this OK? Just a move to shave a little cost off?
Also - what is the max amperage #8 can carry?
Thanks!

Is this what they used http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e8...Elect_Whip.jpg ? If so that's normal. If they used like Romex I don't like it and some code wont allow it.
