I would bet the op had single phase service providing 220 or 240 volt service. 60 amp service is outdated, 100 amp is basically the minimum and 200 amp is common. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [+] the_third@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago* You got it. I'm not really familiar with electrical stuff, but I kinda think my service is 110? My dryer and water heater are on separate 2 fuse circuits. I think it was upgraded from aluminum wire in the 70's. I have the "good" paper wrapped wire now.

My house was built in the 50's it was upgraded from 30amp service and the aluminum wire was replaced with a "state of the art" 60amp fuse panel and paper wrapped wire at some point. Not that much of an upgrade. To use large motors at home you put a penny under the fuse /s. I also don't have any space left in the panel so..... I misspoke saying lease, I meant finance. I like to keep things as long as possible. permalink fedilink source parent
