Hello
I don't have much electrical experience beyond basic home wiring. I just recently purchased a 240v air compressor, that has a 20a factory plug. Currently I have a garage heater that plugs into a 240v 50A outlet.
My question is - If I just purchase a new 240v 50A power cord and re-wire the compressor motor, am I safe to plug that into the same outlet as the heater? (obviously not at the same time) The motor has an overload switch on it that I would think protects the compressor from overheating.
