RPC/Circuit/5hp

Can I safely run a 5hp RPC on a household 220v dryer circuit w/ 30 AMP breaker? + Its about 60 feet away.

My Quincy is running on a 30A breaker I swapped in from a 20A baseboard heater parking spot, and it's about 60 feet away.

I see you posted on the PM site also. In looking around the PM site I was directed to the above site. Doing some searching around the above site should get you the answers you need. They do have converters recommended by FLA (full load amps) of your load and from there you can go to the installation guide to check on the input requirements for the converter.
