    Power Hook up for welder and air compressor.

     



    Ok guy's I want to hook up power for my 230 welders and my 230 air compressor.
    In my main power box I only have a place for 2 breakers then it will be full.
    I want to run some wire from the two new breakers outside to a seperate little
    breaker box then run two seperate wires out from there to 2 - 230 plugs.
    What size breakers should I run, out from the main breaker to the small breaker box.
    Then what size breakers should I run for each plug? {50} times two for one plug???
    I forgot I am just going thru the wall and over about 5 or 6 feet.
    I have some wire that I had from florida when I ran a 200ft. run for my welders,
    so it's some healthy stuff about as thick as my wrist.
    Thanks Kurt
