Name Your Amperage<\/i><\/p>\n
I appreciate the advice on the bare 220 wires I found hanging by my air handler. I would still like to know who left them there, so I can attach them to him at some point in the future.<\/p>\n
I was asking whether a 20-amp 220 circuit was useful for anything, and it turns out it would be. Not all 220-volt tools are huge. Someone suggested running a bigger wire with a bigger breaker, but that’s pointless. The whole point of the exercise is to make use of free Romex and a free breaker, which are already in place. Besides, I have a 60-amp circuit and a 40-amp circuit already.<\/p>\n
The way things stand now, I can drill one hole, run the wires through it, plop a box on the other side, run a short piece of conduit, and slap on a 20-amp receptacle. That’s a one-hour job, and it will cost nearly nothing. Upgrade to a bigger circuit, and I have to spend more time and money. And I don’t even have a use for the receptacle. Why add it, then? The alternative is to pull out a perfectly good set of wires and disconnect them from the panel.<\/p>\n
After all this is done, I get to find out why I have small blackish bees dying in the living room.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
