My brother in law had 2 220 volt power tools, a table saw and a small air compressor. The circuit is #10 wire and he needs to increase the plug size to 30 amp because he is getting a new shop heater that draws 22 amps. Would you put a fuse panel on the table saw and the air compressor that would be 20 Amp in size to protect those 2 tools should the air compressor over load or the table saw jam with a piece of wood in it. I know at dad's each 220 volt tool had a fused disconnect. That was 60 years ago so, what is the current code say? Thanks for any help. J.
