re: Cap'n, We Need More Power! (Electrical Woes, in The "Wood Shop"

The hangar feed is buried, and over 100 feet from the pole, so pulling additional feed would not be easy. I’m going to pull the breaker cover, to see what gauge wire had been run. With that, and the distance, I should be able to figure out that amperage capacity of the feed. As I don’t run more than lights, table saw or planer, with the dust collector, maybe cordless charger, I shouldn’t need a lot. I’ll have to calculate the draw of the dust collector and the “hungriest” of the table saw and planer. All of my equipment is 110/120v.

Might have to change the panel out, but I’m hoping that I can run at least one more circuit of outlets.
