    Three phase welding recepticles
    Hello,

    Can I wire two 480V, 60A three phase welding receptacles off one 60A disconnect? Should they be in series or parallel? I think I may need a separate disconnect for each, but I am not sure. I have a 100A main disconnect

    I personally will answer some of this and then quit.

    First I'll say this:
    THIS IS NOT DIY WORK!!! If you have to ask these questions you SHOULD NOT be doing this work!!

    I don't why folks who have no clue insist on working on this stuff. :mad:
    This is not your own house, you more than likely cannot legally work on this in a commercial setting.

    What I will answer is:
    Yes, you can wire two receptacles off one disconnect.
    The receptacle IS your disconnect.
    Asking if it is series or parallel PROVES you do not know what you are doing.

    CALL A PRO.
