Electrical - convert 110v to 220v outlet using 12/2 w/ground

tim · 2006-08-04T23:15:36+00:00

Hi I have NM Romex 12/2 with ground currently running from my panel toa wellhouse and it's setup for 110 which is running one outlet for alight and the well pump. I need to install a new pump but it requires220v. Assuming I convert my breaker to 220, can I use the existing12/2 romex for the new outlet in the wellhouse or do I need to runadditional wiring? cheers, bigballer

Maybe I had a gopher that liked the taste of NM.

Maybe it was a fat gopher. NM has fewer calories ;-)
