I'm having some electrical work done this month and going to talk to my contractor about running a 240 volt outlet to the garage so I can avoid having to use the dryer. I figure this outlet could be used for a welder or electric car charger at some point by a future homeowner.
There's space in the panel, but I'm concerned about how the panel in configured. Right now all of the neutrals and grounds are joined to the neutral bus bars. With this setup can I still have a 4 wire outlet ran? I already have the stuff to build a spa panel and was planning on using that as a GFCI/shutoff. I'm still shopping around for an electric brewery system and ideally be able to use systems that allow me to run 120 volt pumps and accessories off of the controller without needing an extra 120 volt input.
Or am I completely misunderstanding this and I can use a non-permanent GFCI Spa Panel with 3 wire coming out of the house and 4 wire output to the controller with ground and neutral bonded within the Spa Panel?
Thanks for any help!
