Re: [MBZ] 220 outlets
I have 1 220 outlet in my shop but it's not really in a good location. I need a couple more installed for future lifts and air compressor. I have a couple of blank boxes in the shop with no outlets in them. One has heavy wires and is in a better location but still need one or 2 more. Does this appear to be wired for 220 and all I need to do is install the outlet? How do I wire in additional outlets? Maybe I would be better having an pro do it.

Re: [MBZ] 220 outlets
Get in the car and drive down, you can haul a load of parts back with you. My shop is kind of retarded. So the walk in door is at 1 end, the breaker box is at the other and this is where they also located the light switches, right next to the breaker box. The 220 or 240 outlet whatever you call, which is 50 amp btw is also right next to the breaker box. This is a good spot to say plug in a welder or something but the huge air compressor is right in the way there. I want to locate it in a corner on the other side of the shop but need an outlet there. The empty box with what appears to be about 10-12 gauge wires is close to the walk in door, but not really in the corner where I want to put the compressor. That other empty box with the lighter gauge wires is in the perfect spot but I think it's 110 type wires. I also really need to have a light switch put in by the door, I guess in addition to or relocate the ones by the breaker box. In the box there is at least 1 maybe 2 empty spots fo r breakers. Does each outlet have to have its own breaker or can 2 use the same breaker?

Re: [MBZ] 220 outlets
That 50A 220V outlet is probably the 3-prong triangle sort of arrangement? Like a dryer plug? Or two spades then another one vertical to them in the middle? I can't remember all the various types for the different loads. You can come off there and put in another similar outlet, you have to use #8 (? I think that's right) wire for the amperage. You DO NOT want to run other outlets off that plug that are not rated the same amperage (I won't tell you what I do to run my jointer and compressor in the garage...). If you have other 220V circuits you'll have some double-space breakers in there that use both legs of the power coming in, and they will have 2 wires attached to them, a black and (usually) a red, and a double bar to open/close the circuit. You can use the white wire instead of a red, but you need to mark it red at each end with a marker pen or red tape, and there is no white neutral needed as the 220V is between the two hots, not like on a 110V between a (black) hot and (white) neutral. Running say a 20A 220V circuit you can use 12-2 romex (2 conductors black and white and the bare ground) and just mark the white as red. Or same deal with a 30A, use 10-2 romex. If you have a direct run from the breaker box to some outlet box, and if it only has the black and white conductors, you can use that for 220V by using the black for one leg and taking the white off the neutral bar and painting it red then hooking it to the 220 breaker. Ground stays the same. Make sure there are no intermediate receptacles that aren't also upgraded. If you have conduit running around, you have to use the single conductors (THHN?) that are rated for conduit of the proper amperage. Sometimes that is easier and in a shop protects the wiring a lot better and looks cleaner. The 20A 220V receptacles will have one vertical and one horizontal and you will need that kind of plug. 20A receptacles have a combination of a vertical/horizontal so you can use them for 110V or 220V, but to me that can cause issues if someone plugs in a 110V appliance into a 220V-wired outlet. I have used those in all my new wiring but it is all 20A 110V. I would suggest you go to Lowes or HD and buy a test probe, they are like $10-15 and will beep when you get the business end near a hot receptacle or wire. Lots better than the little light things with the 2 wires, you won't fry your ass. I think they work on 12V too, so good for the cars. You can trace circuits pretty easily with one. --R On 11/21/15 2:34 PM, Curly McLain via Mercedes wrote: When ya gonna be home next week? (turkey day week) It might work...

I need a couple more installed for future lifts and air compressor. I have a couple of blank boxes in the shop with no outlets in them. One has heavy wires and is in a better location but still need one or 2 more. Does this appear to be wired for 220 and all I need to do is install the outlet? How do I wire in additional outlets?
