I've gone full circle these past 40 years . I'm starting to lay plans out for the garage after moving out of the basement years ago . I have a 10HP RPC on hand once again . If I remember correctly , the RPC was connected to the main panel and then to a quick disconnect box . From the disconnect box , the outlets to the machines were then mounted on the walls for each piece of equipment . Does this sound correct ? It's been a long time ago and a master electrician hooked it up for me . Just trying to get it straight again . My largest motor may be a 3 horse and I will only be powering 3 or 4 smaller machines , the BP being the largest . Like I said at the start , I'm getting back to what I started with 36 years ago .
So , as far as breakers and wire sizes . I know the breakers protect the wiring . What would be the requirements of such a set up ? I'm almost at the point where I can begin this project once again . TIA . Dave
