Changed my mind 3 times on method to add more receptacles onto lift poles. Was originally going to do in conduit above lift in ceiling trough, even had almost everything to do it (you know you have hoarder tendencies when you 'just happen to have everything on hand').
I have 2 dedicated circuits, one single pole 20A and one double 30A for lift motor. I wanted to add another 4x 110v on right pole and a 30A 220v for welder on the left. Since ceiling is inaccessible at this time and I'm lazy,
I chose not to run another dedicated 220v circuit as NEC would dictate.
Instead I just tapped into the existing lift pump wire and ran #10 SOOW under the base plate with the hydraulic line & cables (oh my, the net nanny's will poo their pants on this one).
I skipped more 110v outlets for now. Could steal one leg from lift 220 since it is right there, but need to add neutral to conduit drop from junction box at ceiling. Other options are use the existing 110v circuit and run in conduit above, or run another cord under base plate (This is to code but non-ideal).
But for now I can run welder or plasma on 220v at lift or south bay where project truck is. Also bought a 25' 30A 6-50 extension cord that will get me to the overhead door and allow those machines to reach outside onto parking pad far enough to do whatever I need.
