When asking an electrician for dedicated lines, I advise you to include overload protection as well in the case lightning should strike in the direct vicinity of your home(s). Small extra investment, large amout of security.
Urgent help: fuse breaker box for dedicated line?
Hi,
I've looked for a fuse breaker box for my dedicated line at Home Depot, but I can not find the one that use 120V. Home Depot has only a few types of fuse breaker box, but none of them use 120V (240V only). Here are my questions
1/ Can I use 240V box for 120V? I asked the guy in store and he told me that I may use it but the current will be double (he's not sure about it).
2/ The one that I've looked for is 240V/60A with 3 slots to put fuse. Does it matter for double the current in case I use 240V box for 120V if I use only 20A fuse?
3/ The maximum slots in breaker box that I found is three. Do they make four slots? Where can I find them?
4/ I see JPSlabs.com have special wire for dedicated line for $3.5/foot. Is it good compare to Romex or THINN wires?
I'm interested in JPS wire because I need only 20' for three outlets from the sub panel.
Thank you very much.
