I'm wiring up my shop to at least look professional.
It's not a business and there's no reason to worry that a codes inspector might pop-up, but I'm wiring off my 40hp phase converter and want to run it through a 3ph sub panel. Since I'm running the RPC off a 125a breaker, I don't figure I need a box rated any bigger, but I still plan on putting in a larger amperage box just to have the extra breaker quantity potential. I don't plan on running any more than two 3ph devises at a time, so I'm not worried about overloading it.
The question is, since I've been buying used as often as possible to try to do this on a nearly nonexistent budget, I've been looking at fuse panels and see most of them are 208Y/120V. I'm running 240V to my RPC and I've seen a bunch of stuff that seems to interchange between 208Y/120V and 220V/230V/240V.
Can I use one of these panels with 240V 3ph?
I've been looking at GE panels just because I figure staying with one brand means familiarity and interchangeability with existing components.
