OK here is what I am doing. I need to have two 220 circuits out in my detached garage. This will be used by my welder and a ceiling heater. I have the specs for each. My run will be approx. 65 feet. Other than the welder and heater I have some fluorescent lighting, 110 single stage air compressor. Nothing really running at the same time except in the winter when the heater may be on.
In the house I have my 200 amp service panel in the basement. In the garage I currently have a sub panel being feed by a very old 110 which is an aerial wire.
Here is my question. What gauge wire should I run? Can I get away with aluminum? What breakers should I use at each panel? I have a 60, 40 & 30 breakers at hand that I can use.
Specs:
Welder is a Miller 210 - 110/220volt mig.
Amp range 30-210
Amps Input rated load Output 230V, 60 HZ, Single phase, 24.3
Max open circuit voltage DC 34
Heater:
Voltage 208/240
Watts 4500/6000
Amps 21.6/25.0
Motor Watts 16
Thanks for any help here. Priority is to get my welder up so I can do some frame work on a hot rod I'm tooling on.
