My 220v is on one breaker and I actually do have 2 220v outlets in my garage. One for the Jointer and one for the table saw. My dust collector is on 110 since it can't be wired for 220, but is on it's own breaker and separated from everything else. I have a 20 amp breakers for my 220 and have 12-3 wired run for that service. The new saw calls for a 20 amp breaker, but if I need to upgrade it isn't a big deal, it's only 20 ft of wire and a new breaker.<br></br><br></br><cite>tom flannery…</cite>

<blockquote><div><p>if you have 2 seperate breakers powering the 220 outlet it is not wired right..it should be ONE breaker that fills 2 normal 110 slots.. the plug will probably fit the wall.. a dryer plug is 220 and a 110 for the motor, not the same..</p>
<p>the 220 breaker must be one solid switch.. 10 g is correct for wire.</p>
<p>best to run a seperate breaker and wire if unsure..and have a second 220 outlet! like for a compressor or larger dust collector!</p>

There seems to be some confusion about if it is 220 volts, 230 volts or 240 volts. On a 60 cycle single phase system, which is a the standard for the USA the voltage averages 115-125/230-250 volts, usually on the lower end. I have been an electrician for over 40 years and hold a California electricians license. You need to know how many amps the motor draws at 230 volts to know if you need a 20 or 30 amp circuit. Up to 15 amps a 20 amp circuit is ok, 16 to 25 amps needs a 30 amp circuit. Good Luck. If you have a Home Depot or Lowes near you they should be able to help you with finding a qualified electrical contractor if you need one.</p>

220 or 230 is no different. Refers to the nominal RMS voltage. If your existing outlet matches the plug on the saw - plug it in & make chips!

(Disregard the above comment as I thought about it some more) Maybe. But not because of the voltage. For the last 50 years electric utilities have been providing power to residential areas that is 120V/240V. Your reference to 220V is an old school term from years ago. Your saw motor is rated for 230V to be more universal for the various markets they sell into but they are capable of utilizing a voltage rated at 10% over the rating. Conversely with a lower voltage they can withstand an unreliable utility fluctuation much better without burning out from low voltage. What will drive whether you need to do any electrical work is the receptacle in your garage mating up with the plug that came with your new saw. If they match, they are both the same amperage rating. The new saw may have a 240V 30A plug on it and if you still have a 20 amp receptacle you will have to change the receptacle but also at your service entrance box you will have to upgrade the circuit breaker that fuses the receptacle to 30 amp. NOW, if it is a 20 amp receptacle and fuse or circuit breaker installed currently and your saw requires a 30 amp receptacle, chances are you have only 12 ga. wire and that will have to be replaced with 10 ga. wire to meet electrical code as well as not overheat and cause a fire.
