Thread: Outlets and breaker box?

Tweet

What size panel do you have now? If you have a 200 amp panel you can subfeed off it.
Welders have to be 125% of their rated load.Generally 50amp breaker. Compressors vary on hp.
6 receptacles can be run off one 20 amp breaker. I would split it between two 20 amp breakers due to type of tools used in a shop.
Ovens depend on amperage.Generally 125% their rated load. A common household range/oven are on 50 amp breakers. They are considered a non-continuous load, so rating them is different when there is more than one. This applies to figuring what size panel you need.
I wouldn't go smaller than a 125 amp panel.
If you have more info on hp,voltages, amperage,current panel size, shop dimensions, etc. I will figure what you need. And approx what it will cost you. Copper prices are pretty high right now.
I don't have my code book with me right now. My brother has it in the truck.
