Thanks alot,

Judging from your replies, it seems that just running a couple dedicated 20A branch circuits with heavier gauge wire may do the trick. But would connecting them to a subpanel be even better?

After reading this:

It seems like having an isolated ground point in a subpanel (fed directly from the main service ground . . . not the bonded neutral/ground point in the main panel) would be even better. I could then run insolated curcuits whose ground was bonded straight to the main service ground.

BTW- that link is from one of the balanced power companies I mentioned and they cite NEC codes everywhere so they must have specific criterion for there products.

Am I getting any closer?

Thanks,
Mike
