Ok so here is whats going on, My dad and I opened the breaker box. There is room for the breaker but wiring it will be tough. There are two unused 30 amp breakers at my disposal.
Here is my first question. For the 3520B 2 HP, is 30 Amps and 10 gauge ok to use or is 30 amps too high. Do I risk burning the motor or is that fine? If we can avoid going from the box we'd like to because access and space are limited.
Second question- The line already going to the stove has a 220V 40 amp breaker and is 8 gauge wire. Would it be possible to tap into that line and then make another breaker just for the lathe line?
Third- What is the big difference between power transmission and chassis wiring? The distance between the circuit breaker and where the lathe will be is about 50 feet, give or take 15.
Last question- If you live in torrance, know how to do this easily and want a 30 pack of beer send me a message.
Thanks for all the help.
