Re: [MBZ] 220 outlets

[Curly McLain via Mercedes]

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

[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

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?

Well one of you guys need to. I'm thinking this is not rocket science and would 
probably be easy since it is a shop and everything is exposed and easy to get 
to.

Just sent the photos I forgot to send. Yes I have a volt meter. In the breaker 
box I do have 2 sets of double pole breakers. One probably goes to the 220 
outlet and maybe the other one goes to this box.

You'll have to test it.  Touch the bare ends of the wire to your tongue,
like a 9v battery.*

Re: [MBZ] 220 outlets

[Rich Thomas via Mercedes]

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.

You can move the switches, or change to 3 way and run a wire from the 
current to the additional switches.  If the picture I can't see has 
wires connected to the double breaker, then it is a 220 circuit. 120V 
should have a black, a white and a green.  Most residential 220/240 
has the same.  the white is used in  place of the red.  Good color 
coding would be black, red, green for a 220/240v single phase, and it 
may have a white also to keep the common.


You can put more than one outlet on a breaker, but for 240 V major 
users, the best practices is to have one outlet per breaker.  Same for 
dishwasher, air cond, etc.


If you need more spaces, you can get piggyback breakers or half width 
breakers to get more 120V circuits in the same box, freeing up spaces 
for 240V doubles.

The one that is already in the shop is a 50 amp I believe as has 2 flat prongs

When ya gonna be home next week?  (turkey day week)  It might work...

You can move the switches, or change to 3 way and run a wire from the 
current to the additional switches.  If the picture I can't see has 
wires connected to the double breaker, then it is a 220 circuit. 
120V should have a black, a white and a green.  Most residential 
220/240 has the same.  the white is used in  place of the red.  Good 
color coding would be black, red, green for a 220/240v single phase, 
and it may have a white also to keep the common.


You can put more than one outlet on a breaker, but for 240 V major 
users, the best practices is to have one outlet per breaker.  Same 
for dishwasher, air cond, etc.


If you need more spaces, you can get piggyback breakers or half width 
breakers to get more 120V circuits in the same box, freeing up spaces 
for 240V doubles.


Your old place would not have been too much out of the way.  If I 
remember right, you are close to Ponca City now.  SE of Ponca?  I'd

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 for 
breakers. Does each outlet have to have its own breaker or can 2 use 
the same breaker?

additional outlets? Maybe I would be better having an pro do it.
