30 amp breaker with three #10 AWG copper wires. This
will include a black and a red wire for your incoming

service should only be wired by a licensed electrician.
Breakers vary in appearance and wire locations. Before
wiring load and feed wires to the breaker, verify they
are being connected to the proper poles.
When determining a suitable location, consider factors
such as exposure to wind, proximity to trafc paths,
and windows that open into the home.

well-ventilated areas and only on solid, at foundations
(e.g. deck or cement slab). Do NOT place stainless
steel carts on dirt or grass.
