I didn't know where to post this. It goes along with the air compressor thread in tools. It regards tools in regards to my truck which in regards makes it "General"!
I was checkin' out the wiring going to my house and my panel. Looks like it's been upgraded to a 3 wire system. I've got 2 wires coming from the meter that connect to the MAIN breaker and 1 that connects to the neutral? bar. The main breaker is 100 amp.
What do I gotta do to add a 240 volt breaker? Do I just install the breaker and then when running the wire, I'll have 2 hot wires at the breaker instead of one? And the 3rd is ground/neutral?
My new thought on this compressor subject is if I have the capability why not just install a dedicated 240 outlet. It'll be temporary until February when the remodel starts and our panel gets upgraded. After the remodel I'll add a subpanel in the garage.
Can I run this temporary 240 volt breaker and outlet?
