I bought some 10/2 nm-b wire and a 30 amp breaker this weekend. I'll install it sometime in the next week or so. Luckily GE also makes a 30-amp two pole slim breaker so I don't have to take up anymore space in the panel.

Here she is in her home. I only had one leak in my air lines when I tested the system and it was at the manifold. I have three different lines running. one that runs to a quick disconnect near my workbench with a tee running to a 25' retractable reel above my tablesaw outfeed/assembly table...

The 20amp breaker has held so far. Haven't tripped it. Because I was using a 20a breaker, I ran 12/2 nmb wire. It's only about 25' of wire (10-12' away from the panel) and I haven't drywalled the workshop yet so it's still open studs. Re-wiring is no big deal.

FLA says 17.2 So it looks like I need to upgrade to a 30amp breaker and 10g wire. No big deal. Husky should really change their owners manual then because it's misleading...

I bet the compressors are on vendor consignment (hd doesn't technically own them) since they carry very few of them. I'll ask my father in law. He works on the MET team in a store. He got bored about 6 months into retirement and decided to get a part time gig at a HD store.

Yeah I'll give them a call tomorrow or go by the store. Probably buy the guys a beer or something. They rate it at 3.7 HP.

Alright gents, looks like the assumptions were correct. I just switched the breakers around by moving the dual pole down a slot and we have power!

It's pretty easy with two people. I insulated my garage ceiling and blew in more insulation in the rest of the attic at my old house. I plan on doing my new house pretty soon. My buddy loaded the hopper down in the garage and I was up in the attic in coveralls and a dust mask manning the hose...

yep. It's definitely a two pole breaker. The two "switches" are tied together with a bar. GE makes slim line two pole breakers. They're just like a standard two pole breaker, they just take up the same space as a single standard breaker. There are specific slots at the bottom of the panel for...

Looking at a diagram of the GE panel online, I definitely think I have both on the same leg. The "Normal" slots alternate so it's basically impossible to have a two pole "normal" breaker on the same leg. however the tandem/thin slots are grouped in twos. I'm pretty sure I'm running both on the...

Lol yeah, and probably buy the two guys who came to swap them out last night a beer. :lol_hitti

Awesome, Makes perfect sense! Thanks for the help guys! I'll swap them around when I get home from work.

Awesome, thanks. I thought you always had to tie back to ground.

So maybe the slot I put the breaker in is basically on the same leg of the panel? I put it towards the bottom of the panel on the left side. There are two 15A slim breakers underneath it in the last two slots. So basically counting from the bottom-up the breaker is in slots 3-4 of the...

Interesting... How would I test both legs at the same time with my multimeter? I grabbed what I thought was the only 20A 2 pole thin series breaker they had at HD. I don't have the exact model number I bought off hand right now, I'd have to dig up the receipt but I'm pretty sure this is the...
