Need 208V 20 amp and only have two 120v amp to work with

Greg Hovde

I have two 120v 20 amp outlets running two copiers. I need to upgrade to a 6-20R oultet. Would I have enough voltage if I took out the two 5-20Rs, somehow combine and install one line to give me one 208V 20 amp outlet? I have no extra capability to add another line because I am maxed out of power coming into building

Thanks

What do you mean you are maxed out of power? And this a single phase or three phase building?

DIY and 3 phase questions...never a good thing.

How did you get from a 6-20r to 208 volts?

If both of these outlets originate from the same hot line in the panel,
Then NO ! you cannot get 208v.
Only if you have two different phases / hots in your panel.
How many main supply wires come into your panel ?
Look at your main switch.

Be super careful !
If not confident to do so !
THEN DONT !
