DT. You might try going to a wholesale electrical warehouse where electricians buy their parts from. They might even be able to sell you the box you're looking for and they would be most qualified to answer your questions. Usually in the morning and late afternoon trade people always around.
Urgent help: fuse breaker box for dedicated line?
Hi,
I've looked for a fuse breaker box for my dedicated line at Home Depot, but I can not find the one that use 120V. Home Depot has only a few types of fuse breaker box, but none of them use 120V (240V only). Here are my questions
1/ Can I use 240V box for 120V? I asked the guy in store and he told me that I may use it but the current will be double (he's not sure about it).
2/ The one that I've looked for is 240V/60A with 3 slots to put fuse. Does it matter for double the current in case I use 240V box for 120V if I use only 20A fuse?
3/ The maximum slots in breaker box that I found is three. Do they make four slots? Where can I find them?
4/ I see JPSlabs.com have special wire for dedicated line for $3.5/foot. Is it good compare to Romex or THINN wires?
I'm interested in JPS wire because I need only 20' for three outlets from the sub panel.
Thank you very much.
