aww ok you didnt specify regardless are you purposely touching an ungrounded phase and the grounded phase? i dont get it :dunno:

bigger can but it wont be quick...

so you shock yourself on a regular basis and dont die? that makes no sense and 240D isnt any more spicy than split phase 120/240 unless youre messing with the stinger leg. anyone who grabs the stinger leg and touches neutral or ground at the same time has whats coming to them.... still dont get...

motor circuits are easy wire sized 125% of NEC FLC table amps (28a for 5HP as listed on nameplate not compressor label). This means 35a rated wire for 5hp disconnect needed if more than 50' from and not within sight of panel must be hardwired unless you can find plug and receptacle rated for...

if youre not worried about money, what are you waiting for? ask the OP for an address and head out there.... let us know how it goes

so you think youll get more money than the time money and labor spent to pull it out of the ground? who knows how easy it would even be to pull

6-8KW on a sub? ummm what model sub is this? and how are you connecting 3 amps together?
