which means that you need a new breaker with double poles/handles sometimes ganged together with a metal latch or most times a single solid handle but the breaker is double the heigth of a regular single pole breaker used for 1110/120volt circuits. the 220 volt breaker actually feeds two separate 110 volt lines to the outleto off two separate buses coming from the power company.
you will need a 3wire with separate ground wire cable run from the new breaker to the new outlet.
if not familiar with this and not comfortable with the hook up.,,please call in a pro. be safe and have a happy fourth of july ..good luck LJ Was this post helpful? Yes: or No:
