Anybody around here an electrician?
I'm not completely dumb when it come to electrical stuff, but I don't really know a lot either. I thought I would ask my question here before I talked to my local electrician to see if what I want is even possible.
Here's my situation,
The power in the shop is controlled by a subpanel that is fed off of a 30a, 240V breaker on the main house panel. All of the circuits in the shop are currently 15A, 120v. The table saw I want to run needs either 20a, 120v or 10a 240V. What I want is to install a 15a, 240v, circuit for the saw and whatever else might need to plugged in there from time to time. I don't know a lot about power requirements so what I am wondering is would the 30a, 240v, coming into the shop be enough to handle the 15a, 240v circuit, and another one of 15a, 120v circuits drawing full current at the same time? I hope that makes sense.
