I'm trying to set up a shop in a double car garage and will be running several machines a big air compressor and welders with a phase converter and possibly converting some of the equipment over to single phase for convenience so I don't have to run the converter constantly.
So far the garage only has 120 and a small panel with 4 15 amp breakers that appears to be running from a 30amp breaker in the main panel in the house which has a 200amp main breaker.
If I already have that small panel in the garage running off the 30a 120/240 breaker does that mean I already have 240 and just need to put in another panel for it in the garage or will I have to run additional wiring in the house to get 240?
Trying to get to the point where I can run at least 1 machine at a time to start making parts and will fully upgrade in the future. I think I may have 3 phase running along the highway by my property but I'm sure it would cost a small fortune to run to the garage.
