Not an option.
?Reposting that same misleading site doesn't change reality.
That is quite an assumption. I ask a simple question, can a 240 volt 60 amp AC circuit be reliably regulated to 30 amps using something called Variable Resistance Devices of which there seem to be plenty including a Potentiometer which I am not familiar with and I get this? For your information, this “mysterious piece of equipment“ is a Picote Maxi Miller that mills the inside of up to 6” pipe and has to be used in various locations where the only power supply capable of running the machine is usually the 240 volt 60 amp circuit used for the electric range or dryer...Is everybody happy?
Assuming you're not a troll, what is this mysterious piece of equipment?
It is the first one that comes up, the first post was not just for DC circuits, it was also talking about AC circuits and the battery was just an example used. There seems to be several ways to reduce amperage in a 240 volt, 60 amp AC circuit despite your conclusion including rheostats, potentiometers and coils, all of which I am not familiar with. As stated above, this is to run a Picote MaXi Miller which mills up to 6” pipe and has to be used in various different locations where the only power supply capable of running the machine is the 240 volt 60 amp AC circuit of the electric range or dryer. The machine is designed for 30 amps, they usually use a generator on outside sites, but this is inside an apartment complex.
Well since you've finally provided some details we can give an answer.
The machine has to be used in various locations where the only power supply capable of running the machine is the 240 volt 60 amp AC circuit of the electric range or dryer.
These stove outlets in this 500 unit apartment complex are 60 amp rated, the dryers are commercial units.
You know what, call an electrician.
It is much more then a drain auger, very much more, it is a milling machine capable of milling rock, concrete, collapsed epoxy liners, iron ore deposits totally clogging the drainage system In up to 6” pipe. They have another model, Maxi Power Plus that mills up to
This is not in the UK.
The representative from Picote stated that if the machine is plugged into a 60 amp circuit it would fry the control panel, that is what he said.
He is wrong or you misunderstood. That is not possible
I don’t think you understand how electricity works. What ever site you are googling results on. It’s inaccurate. If you are unsure of the advise given here or don’t understand why, you can take these info and consult an electrician or EE “friends”. Electricity in UK, EU or US or even India are fundamentally the same. Other than how it is generate, grounded, distributed and frequency wise. I am referring to AC voltages of cause.
that's incorect info as far as I'm concerned ... to settle your concerns, get a cord to fit the 60 amp receptacle, add a 30 amp breaker to it , add a receptacle for the machine and you're set.

As I stated above the “Global Learning Solutions Director” at Picote stated if the machine was plugged into a 60 amp circuit it would fry the control panel, that is what he said. He said the machines were designed to run off of 30 amp generators for outside, field use.
Sounds like a salesman that is talking out of his ***. Wrong voltage, yea. To many amps not likely.
Maxi Miller Range
The Maxi and Maxi Plus Millers are high-speed, high torque powerhouses for cleaning, removing hard deposits or failed CIPP linings, lateral reinstatements and Picote Brush Coating™ featuring 12mm /½" Flexible Shaft.
That's why I said corded.
for sure
The Global Solutions Director at Picote told me the machines were designed to run off of 30 amp generators for outside field work and plugging it into. 60 amp circuit would fry the control panel. I mean, it is his machine and that is what he said. If the machine heats up, won’t I be constantly blowing fast acting fuses?
It won't heat up. It will draw whatever it needs to draw and doesn't care if the circuit is 30az 40a, 60a or 200a
But it does care if you feed it 240v and it's rated 120v...
