I would like to connect two outlets, both of which are 50-75' away from the breaker box, on one circuit if possible. One draws 16A and the other 13A (18 at startup) for a total of 29 or 34A if you figure in startup amps. Both are 110v. Is it possible for me to use a 8/2 wire with a 40A breaker with this configuration? I think not bug wanted expert advice. Thanks
@Holmwood,
Holm size 8 is apparently good for 40 amps so I'd guess yes, easy. However there'll be a lil voltage drop so let's hope we hear from Eng or another of those hi-tek guys
