30 Amp Breaker Question

check your wireing. 30 amp breakers are usually 220v. and
require 10g. wire.if you have 12 or 14g. wireing, replace that breaker with a 15 or 20 amp as per wire size. you are
looking at a potential disaster if you don't have the
proper wires.it's just not worth it.use a dedicated line
if you feel you need it, but make sure you check that
wireing.breakers are for safety. remember that.

Hi, why do you say a 20 amp is better. I just installed a dedicated line and went with a 30 amp breaker and that was to code. We used 10 gage 3 wire with a ground and broke the tabs on the hot side so each is its own circuit.Hope this is right. Sounds nice.

Maybe I shouldn't have said better. all of the suggestions I see for dedicated line is to use 20 amp breakers, is all.

The breaker is a 30 amp breaker, labelled as such on service panel. It is not 220v, measures a steady 122.7 on my Rat Shack voltmeter. Not sure the guage of wire, guess I will have to check.

Holy shit, Johnhifi! What are you driving your loudspeakers with, an ARC welder?!
