Hi all,
I want to add 220v on my garage, I contacted a licensed electrician and he said he can install one(1) 220v/30 Amp breaker. Basically out of my main panel there are only two slots left and he said 220 breaker will use both slots.
I also asked him cut it be possible to just use those two slots and feed a sub-panel. He said No.
Enough history, here is my question(s)
Some of the tools I am looking at say:
Amps
tool at 220v Single phase 10 Amps (Bandsaw)
tool at 220v Single phase 16 Amps (Bandsaw)
tool at 220v Single phase 15 Amps (Jointer)
Plug type
tool at 220v Single phase NEMA 6-15 Plug
tool at 220v Single phase NEMA 6-20 Plug
tool at 220v Single phase NEMA L6-20 Plug
So the question is if my breaker is 220v/30amps can I still have any of these plugs above.
Why would I use one plug vs another
Last question: if I decide to install 220v how do I create a longer cord, than what it is supplied with the machine? I notice the machines are usually 6' cords.
Thanks in Advance,
luis
