I’m running an EV charging system in a garage it’s a 50 amp circuit 6 gauge wire can be Romax or in conduit Romax is cheaper but not an issue either way it’s easy access.

My concern is placement to make the run the shortest and easiest will be about six inches above the hardware and springs for door a garage door.

I have not been able to find any codes regarding this. I may be overthinking this but knowing these springs break and that they could possibly make contact with wires near them.

Thanks

You will find that in the code book and it states that romex cannot be used if subject to physical damage
