Looking for a little help understanding my options, all of my wiring experience has been simple 110v runs.
I'm converting my attached garage into a woodworking shop; it currently has just a single 110V 15 amp outlet that also powers the lights. My original plan was to add 2 more 110v 20amp lines. I'll never have to run more than 2 machines at a time so I was going to run a 1.5HP dust collector off a dedicated line and the tools off a separate line.
I'm going to pick up a larger dust collector and I plan on upgrading my table saw in the near future and with those investments I have been wondering about 220v machinery.
- Main panel is 125 Amps.
- House has a gas stove, no AC
- I have 2 empty breaker spots.
As I understand it I can add either a single 220v line from those 2 empty spots (which wouldn't be enough to run a 2HP dust collector and a 3 HP table saw at the same time) or I can run a sub panel to the garage with those 2 spots instead?
With a 60 AMP subpanel I should be able to run two 220v lines as well as an extra 110v line, correct?
