Hi all,
I have a sub-panel circuit breaker running outside with a 50amp breaker from the main and in the sub-panel . From there there are is a 30amp out and 20 amp out.
This is mostly for some outdoor lighting and outlets that rarely get used. The sub-panel is in a really convenient place to charge a 2nd electric vehicle occasionally. I am wondering if just prior to the sub-panel I can install an outdoor 14-50r NEMA outlet and then continue on to the sub-panel? Essentially installing the 14-50r outlet in series with the sub-panel?
I realize if I were to charge a car and also utilize a lot of power from the sub-panel circuits, the main 50amp breaker would trip but I'd be okay with that.
I don't see any outlets which have an input and output like typical 15-20amp 110/120v outlets do so I'm guessing not but I figured I would ask.
Thanks!
