Im running a wire from my one room to fuse box. The lights can be powered by 120v or 240v by simply changing the powercord. My equipment is 3 1000 watt Quantum Ballasts. The equipment will run for about 12hrs a day. My question is with the formula. Since im going with a 240v will it bring the total amps to 12.5 cause of the formula 3000w/240v = 12.5amps. and then my 240v 30 amp breaker will be fine or do i have to go with 240v 8/2 gauge wire 40 amp breaker. thank you so much for your time and input. also is my wiring right? 10/2 for 240v 30amp breaker.
8/2 for 240v 40 amp breaker.
or do i have to run 10/3 or 8/3 for these lights.
