Why not? 12 GA is larger than 14 GA.
Yeah but since this is my first 3 phase rewire I feel more comfortable confirming with those smarter than me. The same calculator said I could go as high as 40A for this which sounds like a lot to me on 12AWG. I think the short 50ft run is coming into play more than I would have thought.
Starting from scratch I had already priced out 10AWG but pulling a panel apart that had an emergency light right next to the machine I found the 4 conductor run. Its nearly in a perfect spot.
The panel is a "Square D" A pair of 3 phase breakers were unplugged and sitting in the bottom. One is a 20A and the other is a 30A. I quickly wondered if buying a lottery ticket should be purchased as this machine is hopefully going to fire up tomorrow about a month before I was expecting it.
