I need a second opinion. An electrician is going to be connecting my hot tub this weekend. The tub is a 240 v/50 Amp unit. He suggested that we use 3 #6 thhn wires for the hots and neutral and a #8 thhn for the ground in order to save space in the 3/4'' seal tight. Is having a smaller ground safe or is this against code? He says he has done this before in the past.
