Hi,
Moved into a new home that has several 50A breakers and 10-50R receptacles run in the shop area (and supporting heavy gauge wiring..). I need to convert them over to 20A/5-20R receptacles to use with my shop tools (unisaw, 8" powermatic jointer etc. that have 5-20P plugs on them already).
Wondering if I need to replace the 50A breakers for 20A breakers in addition to replacing the receptacles themselves (I'm assuming this is a definite yes... and probably scares the crap out of anyone who knows the right answer but since I don't for sure... ).
Anything else I need to consider in this instance I'm overlooking?
Thanks
