Electrical Question - Sub Panel or Not
Got a question regarding the wiring for my outside AC Compressor which is being moved to a new location.
A few years ago, I wired for a laundry room 240v using 6-3 wire. Now I need to wire for the A/C compressor which is 20' from my laundry room.
I'm wondering if I could install a sub-panel in the laundry room that receives the 240v from the main panel and then branch out to the two locations. I'm thinking that the sub panel would have proper size circuit breakers (I think 40amp ea.) but the main panel would have to be increased to accommodate the two devices.
It would be much easier to install the sub panel rather than crawl thru my attic for a completely separate run. And, I have a sub-panel that's been sitting in my collection of stuff.
Thanks.....
