I had an electrical question a few months ago about this, and got several varied responses - mainly because I did not have enough information I believe. Now I actually have something to work with!
I have a brand new Grizzly 1023SL sitting in the basement (almost) ready to plug in. I have a copper,10 gauge (3 wire - ground, neutral, hot) coming from a 30 amp (unused) breaker which used to power a water heater (now gas). Our house has 200 amp service and is less than 20 years old (just for reference).
Grizzly recommends 20 amp/220. Do I need to change out the 30 breaker for a 20? If I leave it as is, will I harm the magnetic switch or anything else?
Thanks for any input.
