Hey all, I'm looking for advice from people experienced with 220v. For starters, please excuse the absolutely childish drawing I've supplied below - its the best I could do.
Anyway, I have an existing 220v/30a circuit (blue text) in my basement laundry room that's currently being used for our dryer. The washer/dryer (green) are stacked, nearly snug against the wall, blocking access to the outlet. I can't just simply unplug the dryer and plug in my ebiab system.
The question I'm asking is can I tap into the 220 inside the existing junction box, run a new line (red) up the wall, over the ceiling and drop it down into a new 220 junction box on the left, at the new brew location (orange)? I know I cannot run the dryer and ebiab panel at the same time, are there any other hazards that I need to know about?
Also, I do plan to replace the existing 30a breaker with a GFCI 30a breaker.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
