Re: [TCML] Ohms/Ft. for 6/2 Romex?

50A is conservative for Romex (NM).  See below link.

http://www.coastalelectric.com/Reference/NEC310-16.html

Be careful applying 310-16, because of ampacity derates
in elevated temperature environments, or electrical derates 
if more then 2 current carrying conductors in a conduit.
W/ 240VAC, N and ground "normally" carry no current
in a balanced load circuit.

See ohms/k-ft table for copper wire from one of our alumni, 
Fr. Tom McGahee.

http://www.eskimo.com/~billb/tesla/wire1.txt

Based on table, resistance on order of 0.4 ohms/1000',
or 40 milli-ohms for a 100' feeder.
