Hi, I have to install a very long wiring run to a compressor. Here's the criteria:
- approx 300ft from my main panel to the compressor
- 220V motor, 1 phase, operating at 11.2amps at 10psi/60Hz.
Questions:
- is #10 AWG sufficient? If so, how can I be sure (where could I check in the NEC to confirm)?
- do I need to do a voltage drop calculation?
- Will my motor burn out because it's so far from the main panel?
- what size breaker is required?
- would you recommend anything else? (i.e. maybe lighting protection because it's so far from the main house??) All technical advice appreciated. Thanks Theodore
