10 years ago I had an electrician wire in a silk screen oven. The oven was right next to the fuse box so they just took the wiring from the HVAC system and ran it down to a box a few feet from the breakers. Then ran this wire in metal conduit that ran up to a box mounted on the oven frame and then some flexible conduit to the control box.
They used this 1/4 inch thick twisted wire. Why did they use this vs. solid wire?
The powder coating oven I'm building is about 20 feet away from this box on the wall. I thought the easiest thing to do would be to buy or make an extension cord between the two.
Thoughts?
Box as the electrician wired it from the fuse box

Box on wall now. Breaker is turned off of course. I plan on putting an outlet here and one on the side of the control box that will be mounted to the oven and I can run a ground to the oven.
