    Wiring voltmeter to 50 amp outlet?

    60 Amp fuse Disconnect for a 50amp outlet

    Hi, can a 60a AC disconnect fuse box with 2 class K busman 50amp fuse work as a disconnect near the outlet ? Or would it need to be an actual breaker box, like an outdoor SPA GFCI breaker box? The AC box says compatible with class H fuses. Class k and h are the same size.

    How to run a 5000 watt machine at home in California?

    I am interested in buying a medical device that says the max watt output is 5000 watts. As far as I know you can only run up to 20 amp tops at home. I do NOT have a 220 or 240 volt outlet. Everything is 120 volt. My questions are; I am pretty sure it is not going to work with my current...
