I spent the afternoon installing 3 new electric circuits from my case trimming machines. Looks like the operation will stay here as long as I care to do it.
Each machine has 3 motors and one 20 AMP breaker won't carry 2 machines. Each wall has it's own circuit so being close to the corner I could use those 2 circuits with a 3 ft extension cord. Then had to run one motor off the ceiling light plug.
I got tired of the extension cord and popping GFI's. So I decided to run 3 new 20 AMP circuits. Had to remove 3 ft of batting insulation to get to the studs. I used a 3 gang box and installed 3 20 AMP plugs. They don't make a 3 place plug plate cover so I took a double and single plug plate cover trimmed the 2 sides off and it covers perfectly.
Got done, hooked everything up and of course everything works.
Electric work is very simple when you understand it. Just run wire from point A to B with no breaks. When you get done all plugs, switches should work with no shorts or fires. See there how simple it is. LOL
