    Can I get 220V from my panel?

    Op: every other week make sure to move your compressor to the other side of the shop. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Because I live in Illinois I'm automatically assumed I live in Chicago? I'm simply stating that, pulling a separate neutral is how we are being taught and told to do it now. Doing so will keep away harmonics, that the lights he has on the circuit now are very common of. Also from...

    For some maybe. In my local we do not practice it anymore. It is actually in the specs to not on many new jobs we are on. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Splitting the receptacle for the coffee pot and microwave would be fine. Just make sure to remove your middle tabs on it. Using the same ground is fine. Sharing the neutral is an old practice. While it works, there are down sides. I suggest you pull a new neutral. Sent from my SM-G900V...

    Typically microwaves are a dedicated circuit. With it on the same circuit as your lights do you notice them to dim as you turn it on? I suggest you go ahead and bring a circuit over for it so you don't run into any problems. Use single pole breakers, double pole are meant for a 240 v...

    If all you really need is the compressor ran, it appears you have 3 open spots on your sub panel as is. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Whoever wired that panel did a nice clean job! Looks like a sub panel is in order. The compressor you posted says it pulls 15 amps. So you will need to pull 12awg wire to it (2 hot wires, and 1 ground) and it should be landed on a double pole 20 amp breaker. Get your wire where needed and set...

    Zak's 24x30 Shop Build

    Thanks guys! I usually just make things from what I got on hand. As for the rod holders I simply made them out of pvc pipe. Was very cheap, and was a way to keep them out of the way and protected since I have alot of money sitting there. You can see I used some 2x4s to lower it down. So with...

    Zak's 24x30 Shop Build

    Yes, that is exactly what I did. There is actually 4 dedicated circuits, well 5 if you include my retracting triple receptacle and light that's hung on the ceiling. I'm an electrician during my day time so I collect various parts over time. Different colors seemed like a good idea to me...
