Jumping in here because I want to get the IC3500 and I'm wondering if it's going to work with my power supply at my apartment. There is a 240v 50a outlet in the kitchen where I want to brew and the electric range is plugged into it with a 10-50 type plug. I've figured out how I could wire a cord to go from the 10-50 plug to the 6-20 receptacle for the Avantco.
There's still the whole 50a to 20a thing, though. I was thinking of wiring in two 20a circuit breakers before the 6-20 receptacle, but would that actually help anything aside from frying the burner, and will it just be tripping all the time because there's 50a available from the source outlet?
Just spoke with a guy on the phone at the hardware store and he said I'd need a step down transformer, which they don't have. Really hoping there's a solution here where I can use this outlet. Anyone have advice, or deal with the same scenario successfully?
Cheers!
