[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 3228656, member: 7157"] I have a 240V circuit with a 50 amp breaker and a 6-50 outlet for my welder. If I also have a dust collector set up for 240V but which has a 6-20 plug, would I risk damaging the collector by rewiring it for a 6-50 plug so I can use the same outlet as my welder? The collector has a recommended breaker size of 20 amps and runs at a typical 8 amps; would the 50-amp breaker be too much for that appliance? If so, is there an alternative to running a second 240V circuit with a 20 amp breaker? [/QUOTE]
