Figure I’d throw this out there for the fun of creating a thread…
I ran a 220v/50A circuit o to my garage from the main panel a while back. That circuit terminated at a 6-50R receptacle.
I’m now blessed with a new 220v plasma cutter which will need ship air to run, so I need a second receptacle.
Here’s my plan - swap the current receptacle for a small sub panel housing a single 50A breaker and circuit lugs. I’ll wire in a pair of 6-50R receptacles to the box then power the box with the 6gauge wiring from the main service panel.
I’ll run 10/2 from the sub panel to the the separate receptacles. Each will only see a max of 30A.
