Hey all,
Finally making progress on getting the new garage wired up for my machines. It's been a loooong 6 months.
Anyway, I originally wanted to run one 10gauge 30A circuit for both machines, like I had in my CO garage, but for whatever reason we had a brain glitch and ran separate runs to each receptacle. I don't have the extra amperage in my sub-panel for another 30A breaker, so I am thinking of putting a 20A breaker on each machine.
Reading the motors on the machines shows 8.8A on the mill, 6.6 on the lathe. Both are run via VFD. I would think 20A should suffice?
TIA
