My friends are my only riches, each is a gem of a their own kind. One of which is coming over on Sunday to look at my two available slots in the breaker box already wired for 208V machinery, one a silk screen dryer (80A) that, to my eye, leaves the panel as single phase but is 3 phase at the machine. Other (30A) leaves the panel and ends at a standard clothing dryer outlet for the exposure unit. I can get a 60A breaker easily enough if I don't use the 80A. That one I want to use for a powder coating oven I'll build next week taking the control panel and heating elements out of the dryer and using them for the oven.

Both of these were professionally installed. When I called around to 5 places, no one wanted to wire in a buck-boost transformer, 2 didn't know what they are.

I may be coward on this one but remember, I did change a live 100A breaker at the box outside connected to the pole.

Thanks for your help, compressor was built yesterday, shipped today.
