Yeah, I could put in a small sub circuit breaker box. From: Mathew Howard Sent: Thursday, January 14, 2021 2:57 PM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT NEC wire sizes
So put a fuse on the blower motor? On Thu, Jan 14, 2021 at 3:14 PM Chuck Macenski <[email protected]> wrote: Christmas tree lights have much smaller fuses built into the plugs...

Match the wire to the breaker and vise versa. But the appliance will have a 16 or 18 gauge wire in it. Think of xmas tree lights. How fine those wires are but still supplied with at least 15 amps. I want to connect a blower motor in my shop to an existing circuit. 50 amp 3 phase receptacle. The blower motor only needs 3 amps. I don’t want to change the circuit breaker. I don’t want to install a motor starter relay. Trying to be cheap, and safe but legal in the event something should happen.
