Im installing another circuit in garage.
For a 240vac 26a pottery kiln.
When on it will run at full load (26a) for up to 10 hours at a time.
I asked what safety factor they used. They said none, that it pulls a full 26a.
They recommend a 30a breaker.
I have a spare 30 dbl for my panel,so that would be good,but is 30 really enough?
I will need x' of wire.
Mounting wire on (not in) garage inside wall.
What type & gauge wire?
Does code requires Conduit and if so why?
Id need to install a Kwh meter for the kiln. I see so many for sale 8 to 25$. I'm not sure if any are decent quality. I also see house meters used tested guaranteed for 25 to 40$. But then Id need a box too and think maybe I'm going over kill doing that.
Your thoughts?
Tks,
Paul
