Asking for help.
Have a General 350 table saw not currently hooked up.
Will be moving it to a barn/workshop.
Motor specs a 3 HP, 220 V, 1 Ph., 11.7 A
Will 10/3 w/ground and a 30 A 220 breaker satisfy the load requirement?
Thanks for any help.

No one can answer your question without knowing if you are referring
to the branch circuit in the barn/workshop and or the feeder to the
barn/workshop. We would also need the number of wire feet in each
circuit.

I think the following will describe my situation:
Power underground from pole to meter on house (320 A service).
From circuit box at house through garage to barn on a 100 A breaker.
Garage is separate from house. Distance from meter to barn is about 70-80
feet.
Someone who knows this stuff will be wiring that part but, to conserve a
few $ I'm going to pull the wires inside the buildings from the breaker
boxes.
I'd like to do it right and safe.
There will also be a 2 HP dust collector involved but I have a gizmo that
starts
the collector automatically a couple seconds after the saw starts running.
I apologize for perhaps not using correct terminology.
Thanks for your input.
