Our sub panel is in the garage and the main panel outside. How does the electrician get 240 in the garage?

Run a wire from the main panel thru the garage wall to the location for your 220V receptacle. Not a big job.

Your sub panel likely has 240 volts. You need room in this panel for a duplex breaker set for the amperage needed. If no room, then another sub panel off of that one can be added. Hope this helps.

The electrician will pull the conductors from the location of the charging station to the main panel. A double pole breaker is required in the main panel (similar to a circuit for an electric dryer). The size of the conductors depends on the distance from the charging station to the main panel. Ours is a #10 wire (10-3) for a run of about 90 ft. The breakers should be rated for 30 amps minimum. The circuit must be protected with conduit (schedule 40 minimum) or otherwise concealed from the panel to the charging station.

Your garage panel must already have 240 volts. It would be fed by two primary's and one ground wire. You can check with a volt meter to see if it is there over the two primary's. Not knowing any more about the panel would make it difficult to tell by e-mail. If it is breaker type of panel, look for two lines of vertical breakers. That may tell you. Also if you have any breakers that are tied together on one side like a 20 amp or 30 amp breaker will show that also. Hopes this helps. Let me know. mtown0031@aol.com

The electrician used our main panel outside. it was along the side of garage, so it was easy for him to expose the inside wall to get the line.

I'm not an electrician, and I've thrown the box away. I live in central Ohio, and the unit works great in my home. I would say 110. Wish I could be more helpful.

It's electric.110, but a pain cause it's own breaker keeps popping, keep looking

Thank you for your response I ended up ordering a product from AST for $141.00 that will run off my 240VDC low voltage garage opening system no need for a separate 115V outlet as well. Note: If anyone has anything valuable in or garage you need to have an auto-lock system.

Unit comes with 2 induction leads. Typically each lead would clamp onto one of the two service wires coming into the mains box. Assuming a residential service each of the mains service cables provides 120 VAC. To get 240 VAC the breaker takes power from both 120 VAC cables. You may use just one clamp and attach it to an individual breaker line. That will only give you the power consumption on that circuit.

I AM NOT AN ELECTRICIAN... My 240 is wired with 2 hot wires (one white one black) plus ground connecting to 2, 30amp fuzes. one hot wire to each fuze and the ground to the common ground in the fuzebox. #10 wire is required according to Aprilair. I STRONGLY suggest you get an electrician to do the wiring. THIS IS A LOT OF POWER. I watched my electrician do the wiring. In additionthe Best thing to do is call AprilAir (800) 334-6011 directly.

I have not tried this and wonder why you want to unless you have too much power for one. They do make a controllers that works up to sixty amps. I don't know how you want to wire this. Using separate panels is the only thing I can guess. I use my meter every day to read the total amps going to my batteries and the voltage at any given time. The lights on the front of the controller tell you most things about the system but not the voltage or the current. The voltage tells you how close you are to a full charge. If you have two sets of panels you would need two controllers with two meters. Hope this helps. I have not tried this and wonder why you want to unless you have too much power for one.

I believe its 20amp and my electrician put it on a seperate breaker. That was partially because half of my basement was on the one breaker and he didnt want to overload it. I think if it was just the bathroom on one breaker he wouldnt have added one. Hope that helps.

There are multiple ways to tell but the easiest is offishly by looking at the circuit breaker that controls it inside your electrical panel. If it is 2 pole it is 240v. If it is single pole it is 120v. Single pole breakers typically cover one slot in the panel and double pole two slots. If none of that makes sense to you, I'd recommend calling an electrician.

I doubt it, there is not a 208/240 volt receptacle on the unit. There are two 20 amp 120 volt and one 30 amp 120 volt.

Any receptacle in your house is low voltage (outlets, light switch, etc.). High voltage would be your electric panel. But because this is a remodel access port for audio and video cables you cannot have electric wires running through them such as 14/2 or 12/2.

You would have to ask an electrician that question. I just plugged mine in.

It's not a whole house transfer it is only for designated circuits. Yes it will work in a panel for 200 amps.

I have the exact same setup and it works fine. In fact I have the main breaker in the house connected to a sub panel right next to it which feeds out to another panel in the garage. So it works going through all three for me.

You can use this breaker in your main panel to supply 60 amps of power to your sub panel. Normally the sub panel does not have a main breaker as it is fed from the main panel. Also ensure that you properly install ground and neutral wires. In a sub panel the neutral and ground buss bars are not bonded together as is the case in the main breaker panel. I suggest that you educate yourself on how to properly wire a sub panel!

This is to be professionally installed to code sub panel can be used with a regular 200 amp house panel. Again use a licensed electrician. Be aware it may cost in excess of $1000

240 works much better. 120 with a plug cord cannot by electrical code be installed by an electrician. .only hard wired. If it came with a plug, he can plug it in. If it didn't, he only can hard wire it. 240 volt is available at the furnace, so he can use that to efficiently wire the humidifier. The 120 option won't boil the water quick enough to run long enough on the heat cycle unless you run the fan continuously after the heat has shut off. This unit works best by far on 240 volt.
