    Ditto on the 10 gauge wire. When any electric Motor starts, it requires an initial spike of electricity to start the motor. Once the motor is turning, the amperage draw is much less. This initial spike can trip the breaker if the curcuit is too small. That is one reason why a curcuit that is too long or too small amperage rating will not work properly. As I stated in my original post, a 12 gauge curcuit with a 20 amp breaker is adequate, However, a 10 gauge curcuit with a 30 amp breaker is better. There are 30 amp GFCI breakers available for just about all the different electrical panels. Excellent decision on contacting a Licensed Electrician. Do not let the Electrician talk you out of getting the Building Permit to save money.
