I have a 220 volt line that powers my pool pump. I want to run 110

Is this as simple as taking the 220 wires, and connecting only one hot
wire side with the common wire and ground wire to a standard 110 volt
outlet?


I am not an electrician, but....


Then perhaps you should consider not answering electrical questions...



I believe that is how they do it on 220V electric ranges.


.. especially when you don't know the answers.

To the OP: ignore Tater.

It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again.


now that i think further about it, if he has a three wire 240v line
going in, he shouldn't do it.

now if he has a four wire (red, black, white, bare) line, then he can.
