I had an electrician do some work for me.Went from 100 to 200 amp panel.Ran 4 50amp outlets,2 in the basement ,and 2 in the garage.I told him that i wanted to be able to use the outlets for grow and to be able to plug a stove,and a compressor down the line.I assumed that he would run copper wires to the outlets but come to find out,it was 6 gauge SE type aluminum braid wire.When i questioned him ,he assured me that it's safe to use it indoors as long as it is not for a long run.
I plan on running about 6 1k lights on both outlets in the basement using a powerbox DPC-8000.Do you guys think that type of wire is safe?or should i go ahead and replace it with copper?
