1. RE: does 240 = 120 + 120 ? (score: 1): Author: "Tim Mullen" <Tim.Mullen@trw.com>; Date: Thu, 01 Nov 2001 09:28:57 -0500; Oops again... You're right. At least I had the 2 breakers ganged together part right... 8-) I like Kevin's idea of using a sub panel to create a 240 v and two 120 v circuits.

But only because the router outlet (and possibly the wiring behind it) is not rated to carry 30 amps. Otherwise, I don't believe there would be a problem.

It is wired with 10-4 cable (white, black, red, ground). I'd like to add a 120 v outlet for a router attached below the extension table.

You might consider hooking the other leg up to another outlet, again not to be used when the table saw is running.

And if you have a 20 amp router and push it hard, the router will likely burn up before the breaker trips. Of course, if you have a 10 amp drill on; /html/shop-talk/2001-10/msg00276.html (8,100 bytes)

(score: 1): Author: "Tim Mullen" <Tim.Mullen@trw.com>; Date: Wed, 31 Oct 2001 17:13:17 -0500; Every 240 circuit I've seen has two 120 volt breakers ganged (connected) together (i.e. a 30 amp 240 circuit has 2 15 amp 120 breakers) - one breaker for each (120 volt) leg of the 240 volts circuit.; /html/shop-talk/2001-10/msg00277.html (7,924 bytes)

(score: 1): Author: Kevin Sullivan <kevins@khoral.com>; Date: Wed, 31 Oct 2001 15:52:54 -0700 (MST); OK, the "right" way to do this is to take the wire that currently goes to your 240 outlet and run it into a new subpanel. In that subpanel you can put a new 30 amp ganged breaker for your 240 and two; /html/shop-talk/2001-10/msg00278.html (8,409 bytes)

The breaker is spring-loaded, it doesn't matter how much or little current trips it, it always flies off with the same force.

A 30 amp 240v circuit has two 30 amp breakers ganged together, not two 15 amp breakers. When operating a 240v load, all of the current flows through both breakers (and both; /html/shop-talk/2001-10/msg00280.html (7,718 bytes)
