I have a project I'm looking for input on.
I want to put a 50 amp 240V outlet in my garage. At the most it would be 20 feet from the panel but I'd probably just stick it right beside the panel to minimize the amount of drywall I'd have to disturb.
I have an unused 50 amp circuit that is used for a stove in our basement (we never use it - house came with a basement suite). I want to put in a switch that allows me to route power from one outlet or the other.
Any recommendations on switches and how best to do this so it looks like it was done properly (i.e. up to code). I'd love recommendations to good electrical sites and actual products. My googling wasn't very fruitful.
One other question too: My electrical panel has a slight humm to it. How concerned do I need to be about that? I'm thinking that it means one of the breakers is wonky (technical term) but I'm not sure if it is something that needs immediate attention - actually it's been humming for a year so it doesn't seem to be an urgent issue (but I could be wrong).
