Most of my power tools (table saw, jointer, etc) are 220. Some of them are on independent circuits- the big 12" table saw, the welder, air compressor, lathe, mill. Some of the other stuff- radial arm

Personally, I'd just stick a bunch of them on the same circuit (maybe make the circuit big enough to run two at a time). No different really than having a row of 110v 15 amp outlets all on the same

The issue I've had with this kinda thing is how to splice the (thick) wires together to be able to put a bunch of 220vac outlets in series. Love to get any feedback on proper methods for this. Also,

Yeah, 220 outlets aren't designed to daisy chain like 110 outlets are. What I have done is use a 2x4 or 4x4 handy box as a splice box and run two or three circuits out of that, but, as you said, spli

For splicing really thick wires, use Burndy split-bolts. The usual home centers carry these, or of course any real electrical supply. It's a bronze bolt, split down the threaded end, with a mating n

That makes sense, and its something I never really thought about too much. Out of curiosity, does that mean it'd be within code to run a 30A 110vac circuit (with 10g wire & appropriate breaker) with

My understanding was that NEC requires outlet ratings to match the breaker and that an explicit exception was included to allow for 15A outlets on a 20A circuit. So while there's nothing preventing y

Absolutely not! In general, receptacles have to match the rating of the breaker they're connected to. That means if you have a 50 A breaker, you need 50A outlets. You have a 30A breaker, you need 30A

Dave is right, NFP 210.21 says the outlet has to match the breaker. The only exception they allow is for 50 amp welders. -- == = Never offend people with style when you = = can offend with substance

There are 30 amp 120V plugs and receptacles, and 50A 120V plugs and receptacles. (They're NEMA 5-30P, 5-30R and 5-50P, 5-50R if you want to google for pics.) I've never actually seen one in use. The
