balancing the load. What are
If you're going to run several 120v machines at once, you try to balance the current draw between the legs so you don't pop breakers. For 240v, make separate runs from separate breakers. When I removed the 240v baseboard heaters in this new (to me) house, I had several spare breakers. I ran 3 lines for the larger shop equipment (all WW) in 3 areas of the shop and it worked fine. The table saw, bandsaw, dust collector, and lights are all on separate circuits.
