Running a 220 20 amp breaker
I have learned a lot from my father and very thankful for all he has taught me over the years. One thing that has always stuck with me is don't mess with 220 wiring, hire a professional. I need to run 220 to my shop and have done quite a bit of reading and watching videos and just can't understand how installing it is any different (danger wise) than running any other new breaker.
I have installed countless 110 breakers over the years and never had an issue. Of course I have always respected electricity in general, take all necessary precautions, never in a hurry, double and triple check my work. Is there really any more danger in running 220? I certainly don't want to be penny wise pound foolish but I don't want to pay an electrician a few hundred bucks for something I can do.
Am I missing something? Please be honest and let me know if I'm being stupid by not letting the professional handle this for me. Thanks in advance
