Hi - I am adding a NEMA 6-50r outlet in the garage for my welder. I pulled 6/3 Romex back to the panel where I will install a 50 amp breaker. The NEMA 6-50r outlet does not need the white neutral that's present in the 6/3, but I wanted it in the box in case I ever purchase an EV and switch outlets. For now, I capped the neutral wire with a wire nut in the outlet box. My question is what do I do with the white wire in the panel? Should I connect it to the neutral bar or just leave it disconnected altogether, awaiting a time when it is needed? I'm thinking it is safe to connect to the neutral bar since it is wire nutted in the outlet box, but I wanted a professional opinion.
Thank you in advance for your advice.
Cheers
