Default Re: Plug Question

The wiring going to your compressor is probable to small to run the oven and like wise the breaker. If you size everything for the oven it will be to big for the compressor. The compressor will run but will NOT have the protection it needs. Another words if the compressor over loads it won't trip the breaker (because it's rated for the oven) and will burn up instead and may catch fire. It certainly can be done but you have to be very careful and if your garage burns down your insurance will not be happy..................
