unfortunately they don't have a 140 panel. 60, 100, 125 and 200 amps is what panels are rated for. So to get 140 amps you will still need a 200 amp panel you will just have to downsize the breAker to what you need. My advice would be to just install the full 2hun. 2" emt and copper wire size 3/0. This way you can handle any future expansion.Thanks fear, I really appreciate the info. I need at least 140 amps at this spot. I'm going to have my buddy who's a union electrician do all the work for me. I'll keep everyone updated on the progress!
You should be fine as far as amperage is concerned at 220v your amps are cut in half pretty much, at 220v three 600W your looking roughly at about 10 and a half amps. One thing you dont mention is wire gauge. If your using 220v make sure your extension cord is the apropriate gauge like a 10 gauge or so. You dont want them to overheat before the breaker does because it will pose a fire hazard. Best of luck.Whatz up guys, need help with electrical. It's been awhile. I have 30amp breaker for 220 and a ground. So 3 wire. Two hot. One ground.
I have a 20amp 125v receptical. It has top and bottom with the bridge connected. I would like to use both.
I know brass side is hot, silver is ground. But since no neutral is being used. I just hook up one brass and one silver for each side using 110. Then ground.
Im just gonna run 3 600's so I'm well under 20 amps.
Is this all right?
Thanks in advance for the help.
