I have 2 machine that I would like to run off of one circuit. One is a 30 amp planer/moulder the other is 40 amp planer. I work by myself so both machine will never be operated @ the same time.
I'm thinking that if I ran wiring for 40 amps to a breakout/kill box to run the planer, could I also run a leg to the moulder via breakout box that is fused @ 30 amps? It would be my desire to kill the power to the 30 amp box when the planer is in use and visa versa. I was hoping that the disconnect lever would accomplish this for me.
My shop has not been permanetly wired yet so it would be just as easy to run seperate circuits and I have room in the subpanel. I'm just looking to conserve a few circuits to grow.
