We just recently remodel this unit and the contractors installed a 240v air conditioner where a 120v outlet is located. So I had to go to the breaker box and
Swap out the breaker to a 15 or 20 amp single pole, put the second hot onto the neutral bar, replace the socket with a 120v 15 or 20 amp socket. There is no adapter to do this, you probably have at least 30 amps and your 120v stuff you want to plug in are 20 amps max. If you have to ask this you should call an electrician.
From there, run a 12/2 to a standard receptacle for the microwave, and another 12/2 to another receptacle for the refrigerator. Then at the panel swap out the 30 Amp double-pole breaker, and replace with 20 amp breaker. 1.
If you plug in a 240 motor into a 120 circuit it will draw half the current and in turn, half the power. The table in 430.248 is correct IF the motor was wired for the correct current. Another way to look at this is to measure the resistance of the motor coil. Say the motor is wired for 240 volts and has a resistance of 40 ohms.
The 30amp supplies the 240v on a 10-2 wire. What I’m working on is converting this 30amp 240v to a 30amp 120v sub panel. My thoughts are to replace the main 30amp couple pole with a 30 amp single pole, so that I can wire the sub with this without replacing the 10-2 wire. The end goal/use for this sub panel is to repurpose the 30amp so that I
I would have assumed OP meant "convert the 120V outlet to a 240v outlet" which would give twice the power at the same current. US wiring delivers 240V to the panel but also a line from a center-tap transformer that lets it act as two 120V "legs." The 240V source is already there, but rewiring in the panel is required.No, it is not possible to change a 240V plug to a 110V plug. The appliance and the plugs are designed for the specific voltage. An adapter can be used to plug a lower-voltage appliance (e. g. 110V) into a higher-voltage outlet (e. g. 240V).
