I recently purchased a 220v band saw for my shop that has a 30 amp plug. My shop has plenty of 220v outlets, but they are all wired to 50 amp plugs and protected by 50 amp breakers. The 50 amp circui

Circuit breakers are there to protect the wiring in the wall from the load, not the other way around. There is no reason for the additional circuit breaker. Peter Thomas _____________________________

Can't you just replace the breaker and the receptacle with 30 amp versions? http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/shop-talk/doug@dougbraun.com _______________________________________________ Shop-tal

Forgive my ignorance, but is there any reason not to replace the plug on the saw so that it plugs into your 50A socket? Breakers don't protect the load and the saw will draw 30A no matter what circui

Use wire sufficient to carry 50A, with a 30A receptacle at the end. No additional breaker needed. _______________________________________________ Shop-talk@autox.team.net Donate: http://www.team.net/

If you really want to do all that, find a 30 amp RV outlet box with a breaker in it, and mount that to the side of the saw with a 50 amp cord to the wall outlet. But as noted, it's not really requir

I have had this very discussion with an electrician. I made the same arguments as the others replying, that a separate breaker isn't necessary. I lost. Fact of the matter is, if you really want to b

Most of these I see are like the one I use with my RV... They're intended to convert 30A 110vac to 50A 220vac (by putting the 'hot' leg on the 110 circuit to both hot legs on the 220 circuit, which

Yes, that's exactly what I said to my electrician friend. The answer is that your clock radio is designed to handle faults involving up to 20 Amps. That is, if something goes wrong inside, it is supp

Sorry, I don't buy that. The cord on my clock radio is only about 20 AWG; it will get hot enough to burn at 15 amps and never blow the breaker. Just curious, since everyone is quoting "the code": Ar
