I'm about to install a generator transfer switch. The switch itself is near the breaker panel, of course, but the junction box for the generator power is on the other side of the house.
What I'm wondering is if I should go to the extra expense of using armored (BX?) cable instead of Romex for the stretch from the junction box to the transfer switch. The only part of the cable to go outside is less than six inches--the rest of the run is in the basement along the floor joists to the breaker panel.
Any thoughts?
