Electric Dryer Not Hot Enough Electrical Service 200 Amps Enough To Add A Hot Tub?

Electrical Service 200 amps enough to add a hot tub? - electric dryer not hot enough

Would you like a hot tub for our bridge, the current 200 amp with an electric dryer (rated at 30 amps), oven (rated 30 amps) and AC circuit told me 30 min / max 50 A (amperes on a 50-breaker.) Most spas will require at least one circuit 50 A and 60 A, if you want to run the pumps and heating time.

I jump when I add switch 60 amps, a candidate for the spa? Thank you!

Absolutely not. A service from 200 amps can handle a large amount of material, the chances are at the peak of their service is simply the delivery of 100 amps. If you check the circuit for the spa itself, you are connected to a circuit of copper 6AWG # 4 son as SACs need a neutral and earth along the line 2 run run feeds 240 volts. Home Depot and Lowe's sells a 4 ROMEX only son for this type of diet and remember that you are a safety stop in the spa and all external conductors, or suspended, must be adapted in a pipe or hose and the liquid is properly secured .

If you put everything at the same time, you can solve the main switch. Right next to the stove and dry during the heating of the spa.
