mini breakers
I have 3 open spots in my electrical panel, I would like to have a 220 outlet for my table saw and then 2 circuits of 110 outlets around the walls for A/C, and other tools, Can I use two of the spots for the 220 and then use mini breakers for the 2 110 circuits. Are there any other options for me to do what I want?
Are there any drawback to using Minis?
Where can I find Minis?
Thanks
(Tandem or twin breakers is what I mean by mini)

Give us the manufacturer and model number of your panel and we'll tell you whether that panel accepts mini breakers. If it does not, your other options are a subpanel or a larger main panel.

The mini breakers, or tandem breakers, can go anwhere a regular breaker can go.
Since you have three open slots and want to add a 220 breaker and two 110 breakers (1 mini), I would just use the three open slots, assuming that there are two together for the 220 breaker.
