![]() (4) Maybe a 240V plug could be placed right at the breaker box and you could run an extension cord to your shop? This one may have issues as well since it is more or less a "permanent" extension cord but it could be the least expensive. (3) Inspect the breaker box and/or outlets in your uld they be possibly upgraded from 15 A to maybe 20 A? If they are run with #14, you are SOL (possibly.can new wires be EASILY pulled?).if they were run with #12, then you just gained another 5 A on your 120 V circuits and it may help in situation (1) over situation (2). (2) Talk to the landlord about getting you some 240 V in your space.offering to hire a licensed electrician might get you what you want. (1) Try your new equipment with what you've got and see if it'll work. I think you have the idea that to do this, even if it "works", is a bad idea in general. Same for my General Shaper, Bandsaw, Hammer A3-31 planer etc. You could always buy a heavy duty generator that will handle your power requirements.Actually if you use two wires from the same pole you get zero volts differential, not 120 volts, since they are in phase.Ī 15 ampere breaker is large enough to run shop equipment, I have a General 650 that only draws 12.5 amperes (3HP) so it runs from a 15 ampere circuit. The only other option is to get back in line for another shop because if you don't have access to the needed power you should forget the idea. There is also the possibility that the plugs that are available to you are 15 amp plugs protected by a 15 amp breaker and this is not enough to run any heavy duty equipment. My suggestion is for you to buy 110 volt equipment or make arrangements to get a 220 volt tap off of the power panel. described with the two 90 pound air lines combined will still be 90 pounds of air not 180 PSI. ![]() ![]() The two separate 110 plugs are probably on the same circuit and if so it will be as Allan F.
