Hi,
I just bought a property who is 10 years old.
For a reason unknown to me, the previous owner needed more receptacles than usual, so they are many and all over the house.
Now, this makes my original idea to install a number of 240V receptacles easier to realize, because I can use some of the existing ones without bothering to do mobile receptacles.
Now, keeping in mind the use I will do of 240V:
1) Mostly Hi-End electronics equipment
2) Some of them for the hoover
3) In the garage, some tools like: electric saw or car hydro-cleaner
4) In the kitchen: Dishwasher, possibly a microwave.
Now, my questions:
Once I have decided which receptacles will become 240V, I will need to change the wiring.
Which size shall I use? I mean, gauge is different according to use, perhaps should I use the biggest for all uses?
Breakers: dual pole?
Thank you for your help.
Regards
Alex
