Hello,
I would truly greatly appreciate if someone could share with me some tips on how to handle this project:
I need to run wiring to power a 220V, 13Amp pump.
This will be two 110V legs plus ground. I imagine I will need some specific wire (like Alluminum 2AWG) plus 2 sets of transformers (1 set per each 110V leg). Would anyone have a good idea on what specific equipment would work as well as where to buy it?
Thank you in advance.

I am opening this thread only long enough to say that I believe you are treading in very dangerous territory. Your project description has many things wrong. It cannot work the way you appear to think it will. I urge you to turn your project requirements over to a licensed electrician, and let that person do the design and installation for you. Whatever money you think you can save by doing this yourself is absolutely not worth risking the lives of yourself, your family, or your guests.

I am serious: Please don't go down the path you described. :thumbsdown:
