Nema 14-50R to 6-50R

I have a 50AMP breaker connected to a 14-50R with a copper 6awg 4 wire.

Can I just disconnect the Neutral and put in a 6-50R Socket instead? (It's in a 4x4 box, I would have to just swap the socket)

Thanks!

Wire size question

M

Minor questions on Aug 09, 2015

I want to run wire to my shed from the main panel in my house. It will be to a small sub panel. I need to run it close to 300' so I'm not sure the wire size. It will used used for minor things, light plugs, hand saws and such. It is the distance that concerns me. Its a small ahed 10x16. Did.not know if I could get by with #10 or if I have to use #8.

3 way dimmer and 3 way switch setup not working?

R

Rolomoto on Aug 12, 2015

I have a 3 way dimmer downstairs and a 3 way switch upstairs that are wired to an incandescent track light. If the dimmer switch is "off" (even though there is no ON/OFF) no power will flow to either traveler wire. So I can't turn the light on with the 3 way upstairs. So in effect it's not a fully functional 3 way system. Is this the way 3 way dimmers are supposed to work? I've enclosed a pic of the dimmer, installed circa 1985. Thanks [ATTACH]54587[/ATTACH]
