Ran into a situation the other day in a condo where a Miele stackable washer and dryer requires two 220V 30A receptcales. My first thought was to cut another box in and add another dryer receptcale on the same circuit but thought better of it and called the appliance store. the gentleman there told me that it either required two 220V 30A circuits or another choice was to buy a splitter box which plugs into the existing dryer rec. and then both appliances plug into the splitter box. He went on to tell me that because of the electronics on these units they could not be on the same circuit without using this splitter box. Has anyone run into this before and how does the splitter box electricaly isolate the two appliances?
