So I just got a 24" Drum Sander, and the plug on it is a L6-30 NEMA (twist lock plug). My wall outlet is a standard 6-20 receptacle. I have seen online that you can get an adapter which would allow me to plug the L6-30 into my 6-20 wall outlet, but the question is will it run without tripping breakers or burning down my shop?
The instruction say I need at least 27 amps for the drum sander, and when I look at my breaker box in the shop it looks like 2 x 20amp breakers connected together, and the bar that turns them on and off is labeled 30. So I am assuming that means it is a 30 amp breaker and that it will work. . .right??
