Hey everyone!
New to these forums. Looking to get advice on the best option to resolve this:
I have a 50A 6 gauge wire (with an un-used neutral) coming to my detached garage from my main panel that powers an electric car charger via a 6-50R. The car charger only takes 20A but due to the 6-50, the breaker is 50A.
I recently purchased a converted three-phase to 1 phase Delta saw that is wired with an L5-30P.
I am trying to run both of the devices off the same receptacle (only 1 at the time).
I looked at a few options:
My worry was running the 30A table saw on a 50A breaker.
Thanks for any insights!
Some photos attached for some reference.
Best,
Vlad

I looked at a few options:
- Converting the 6-50 to a 60A sub-panel and running lines in the garage from the sub-panel.
- Re-wiring the 6-50 plug and table saw to a 14-30 and changing receptacle.
- Re-wiring the L5-30 and use a pigtail converter with the 6-50 (I found a pigtail L6-30 to 6-50).
My worry was running the 30A table saw on a 50A breaker.
