wiring a single phase / 230 volts / 18.8 amps / 60 Hz

12/10/2007 12:58 PM masterofnone1

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. My question is
Can I wire a Double poll 30 amp Breaker off my general electric Box to Run a Heavy duty Machine that calls for / 230 Volts / 19 amps / 60 Hz / Single phase / to run? Or do I need to wire a 220 volt service? If someone knows the answer and would be so kind as to call me at (919) 681-5558 I am Clinton / I am being pushed to buy this machine or not, it is at a really good price but I do not want to buy something I cannot get wired with what service I have available.
Please help.
