dieselpilot said:Learned something here. I want to add a sink for washing up in the shop, but it's going to end up being too close to a 220 outlet for comfort. I found that GFCI breakers exist for 220V and will be getting one prior to the sink installation.
Here in Australia there is still a minimum distance that an outlet can be away from a sink (500mm left or right)
Running your machine through an ELCB (earth leakage circuit breaker) can cause nuisance tripping as earth leaking from an electric motor is allowable down to 20k ohms, as do hot water services and electric cooktops.
