So I have framed out most of the basement, including my shop area, and wired the remainder with 12/2 MC (1 black, 1 white and 1 green ground) for lights and regular power for 20A circuits.
Now, I need to wire up the shop area, and I will need at least 4- 220V outlets, one for the SouthBend Heavy 10 with a 3 phase .75 HP motor, and one for the Van Norman #12, which has two motors, I think one is 2.5 HP (spindle) and the other .25 hp (table feed), and one for the Burke #4 Mill - not sure what the HP of the Master Gearhead motor is, one for an old Baldor 3 phase grinder I have. I want to put a VFD on each, two in the case of the Van Norman. I can use 125V /20A for the HF metal bandsaw I have.
How would you guys approach wiring this up (other than saying "call an electrician")?
Thanks,
Nelson
