Why is this a problem? Just run down to Home Depot or Lowe's and
buy some No.8-3 cable and run your own 220v line. They have the
needed twist-lock 25A or 30A receptacles, plugs, and utility boxes.
I tied my 35-foot 240vac extension from the main breaker box at the
main entrance buss and used a 60A service box for installing
20A-230v breaker and two 20A-115v breakers to have some stiff power
for other PS in the shack.
If you are worried about regulations find a local electrician that
will sign-off on your work - that is what I did.
Getting the hardware is easy part. Installing it is the hard part...
depending a particular QTH.. shack location, etc. Some municipalities
may require a permit, and inspection by the proper municipal
inspector. And, some homeowner associations may have rules that
require the use of a licensed electrician, particularly in condo and
townhouse communities, where your "unit" is sharing a wall with other
owners. And, that may not be a bad idea, because there are quite a
few people who simply don't know what they are doing with electrical
wiring.
It won't be an issue for me, of course, since I'm a QRP operator.
And besides that, I don't do wiring or plumbing any more. I'd rather
pay a professional.
