Hi all been a little while, I'm taking a break working on the house figured ied mess around with the shop.
The shop is a boat deep two car garage sheet rocked completely inside.
There is one 220 50 amp welding outlet , and four 110 outlets, all on one side of shop.
Well that will never work , hate extension cords laying around on ground .
Pulled the panel cover and the 110 outlets are on a 20 amp breaker with 14ga single strand wired
There is a outside 110 30 amp rv plug that is Romex 12ga on a 20amp breaker that I can get to the wire in the attic , thinking of tying into that with a junction box and 12ga romex across shop attic and dropping a 4 outlet box on other side of shop outside the Sheetrock with metal Conduit also drop another one on back wall by the lathe and another one by the original outlets to have true 20 amp service on three sides of shop .
It has been my understanding that 14ga wire should have 15amp breaker, should I Change the original breaker to 15amp
Also put another 50 amp 220 outlet by the one that's there for the Doall band saw
Anyone know what it would take for drop cord from the ceiling in center of shop close to code.
Any advice much appreciated
Thanks
