Hi all,
I'm trying to figure out how to get a 3 HP DC in my 2 car garage shop. I have 2 110V20amp circuits and one 220V20amp circuits dedicated to the shop, but the DC requires a 40 amp circuit. I have no room in my box for any more breakers and a sub panel is too expensive (if I got it I wouldn't be able to afford the DC, Catch-22). So, I was looking at my breaker box today and noticed that there is a 40amp breaker named 'RANGE'. This is the stove, I'm assuming. Could I run and outlet for the DC from this? My stove is nearly never used and I would make sue that if it is being used, not to turn on the DC.
I sounds so simple to me that there is probably something wrong with his plan.
Thanks!
