This forum is the best as I get all kinds of info here from the brain trust as well as seeing other people's projects for comparison.

I'm moving my oven from one wall to another. I need to move the 220v outlet which I did last weekend. I replaced the original 220v wiring with new wire which spans about 25' from the circuit breaker to the outlet. Basically, I am keeping exactly what I had but just moving to a different area an using new wiring.

My Question: This wiring is run under the house and I put in flexible metal conduit. Someone at work told me that I might not use conduit due to heat generation of the wiring - Can anyone tell me the best practice or code for this. I used large 1.5" flexible metal conduit. The original wiring was in 3/4" flexible conduit but the original wiring was single strand and the new wiring is incased so that all 3+ground is contained (similar to romex but for 220v (actually 600v)). I used the larger conduit simply because I had it and it was a good thing as it was a pain to feed thru it; I would never have gotten it into the smaller conduit.

Any advice would be appreciated.
