I have a cabinet shop,the two motors in question are 3hp 230v 1ph
17fla.Ive read the posts about 30A bkr on a 12AWG THHN. Does that apply also if my branch circuit is romax?My circuits are dedicated home runs, one motor for each.My new thickness planer already has a #12 cord but no male end,I will be putting receptacles on the wall for both motors.Will they only need to be 20A rated as well? So my plan is to have 25A bkr #12 romax to a 20A recept,then a 20A cord cap through the supplied #12 cord to motor starter.Thankyou .- posted
