I can get into something like this for reasonable $ and have a fully inspected and approved install. Cant beat that.
Next is decision on the GFI/Arc breakers. 30amp seem to be over $100 each (so that puts me at several hundred $). But I have a 60A breaker feeding a sub panel that has 4 220v circuits and 2 110 circuits. Instead of GFI breakers for each circuit, I was hoping I could GFI the single 60A breaker that feeds the entire panel.
Inspector was worried there might be problems with different circuits messing each other up and not getting the single GFI to work. He was fine with it if I could get it to work, so I have to figure that part out next. I have had issues with GFI in the past on fluorescent lights, but these 220V circuits are all to feed basic woodworking machines so pretty simple. The 110 breakers go to my fridge and dishwasher, but I think I can swap them from the other panel and instead pull something like an outlet circuit that will never be used at the same time.
Has anyone run multiple 220v machines on a GFI simultaneously?
