Hi:
I have a shop with 200 amp service.
"Someday" I want a to get a few things that run on 220/240v.....
plasma cutter - 50 to 80 amp 220v
which I believe would need #4/2 wire w/ground good for 85 amps.
auto lift - that uses #6/2 w/ground
arc welder - 2130v 60 amp, I'm told #6/2 w/ground
None of these would run at the same time. I'm the only one that
uses my shop. All hobby work. I would like to run one line from the
panel abut 30 to 40 feet with a recepticale that can accomodate using these various tools where I can simply plug one in that I want to use and
unplug it when done. I didn't want a seperate line for each one. Won't
be using these things everyday and not too often, but when needed
would like to be able to plug it and use it.
Can I run a #4/2 w/ground and use all these things on that line?
Thanks
