Well! Now I have finally done it. CHOP! The sex-change is complete. NO NO NO....... just kidding!
Here is the promised powerstrip- @ a yard long (nearly a meter) it is probably eligible for the Guiness Book of World Records. As we discussed, its funtion via a 40 foot (12 meter) long flexible cable is to take 220v 30a power from the dryer outlet in the house and transport it to the laundryroom shed.
Now, you will be able to run an electric dryer in there OR multiple washers via two 30amp 110v circuits.
Left to right we have:
1- 110v 20A outlets on GFI. 2 x 2 duplexes = 4 (hot leg 1)
2- 110v 20A outlets on GFI. 2 x 2 duplexes = 4 (hot leg 2)
3- 220v 50a 4 prong range outlet.
4- 220v 50a 3 prong range outlet.
5- 220v 30a 4 prong dryer outlet.
6- 220v 30a 3 prong dryer outlet.
7- 220v 30a 3 prong A/C outlet.
8- 220v 20a 3 prong A/C outlet.
In a nutshell you should be able to run up to about 6 washers simultaneously, all power via a std. US dryer outlet.
Of course, your new powerstrip will allow you to test just about anything you end up collecting or toying-with without having to change the power cord on the item. All wiring in the unit is #10 AWG to be able to handle the full 30a for which the crcuit is proteced by the house's circuit-breakers.
I will see if I can get this shipped out in time for the wash-in. Please advise privately of shipping address and name of recipient if going to Nate & Melissa's place directly.
PS the GFIs have power indicator lights so that we are visually assured of power to both legs of the line. The thick flexible cable goes into the dryer outlet, whereas the thin 110v std. US plug and cord is for grounding the power strip only.
Again from all of us, many thanks in advance to you, Roger and Ross for your hospitality.
