"I have a 60 amp Junction box with 13 breakers in it already with two slots still available it is a General electric box wired Hot with no "Main Breaker" The main breaker is in the buddy box I wired from my main house breaker box, so in reality I have two Buddy boxes off my main house breaker box."
First it is not a junction box, but rather a sub-panel.
And by the way you need to run 4 wires to a sub-panel (2 hots, neutral, and ground) and the neutral bus isolated from the ground bus. On some panels you can do that by just removing a strap. On other you also need to by a ground bus bar kit.
And you did not give any clues of the load on that sub-panel or what is is wired for.
But if you have 2 open slots next to each other then you can install a 2 pole breaker to supply the motor. If the slots are not next to each other then you can rearange the exisitng ones.
If you are questioning the 230 volt requirment the standard supply in the US is 120/240 volts, NOT 110/220.
However, the standard for rating motors is 230 volts. And yes is to works fine on 240 systems. |
