Helping a buddy setup a dedicated outlet in his garage for the 110v flash dryer.Thinking about installing a 30amp breaker for it.


Is this gonna be enough for that? Im going to install a 4outlet setup. a normal outlet in his garage is 20a.

thanks for any info.

PS> we have a Printa Cure Pro conveyer dryer which requires a 16a supply, and a Printa flash dryer that rquires 13 amps

What I would do is to run two 12-2 (20 Amps) from the panel to the location where you need them. A circuit for each one of them.

This is good advice, each line on it's own breaker. What you don't want to do is run 12 or 14 gauge wire to a 30 amp breaker and try to run both dryers on that line. You might burn down the garage.

tpitman is right, I should have stated that each 12-2 should be in separated circuit breakers, and they should be 20 Amps circuits breakers.
If you need additional circuits for other things, run them separately, and leave the flash dryer and conveyor dryer in dedicated circuits. Play safe.
