I am building a woodshop in a 2 car detached garage. I think i have 1 115V circuit into it from the house. I would like to have at least one, preferrably 2, more circuits running into the garage. I would hate to trip a breaker with my circular saw and have the lights shut off.
I don't know how all this works.
From what i'm told, each circuit must be run from the line going into the house. a trench must be dug from what i understand to bury the lines. but i really don't know.
now some questions How much does something like this cost? Can i have circuit breakers in the garage? I was told i need 2 115V lines to make 1 230V line. How much does it cost to create such a line? If i want 1 115V circuit for lights, 1 220V line for my table saw, and 1
115V line for other power tools, do i need a total of 4 lines? is it usually legal to have such power lines and requirements running into a detached garage?background info>
table saw will draw 20 Amps at 120V router draws 12 amps at 120V dust collector
