Hello to all!
I have a thought of something I MIGHT want to do: convert an existing 240 wire to two 120v 15a outlets Power source: It is a separate fuse box that can conatin two 30 amp cartridges fuses cartridges. The wire coming from this box goes straight to a outlet in the kitchen where the Window AC unit use to run at. This box also has its own kill switch. The wi A 10/3(rd, blk, wht) with bare ground. to place a two space/four circuit sub-panel on the wall with two 15 amp breakers. And feed the SP by extending the existing wire. I see other posts about this but I have other questions: What would be the volt/amp fuses to use in the fuse box? Would I need some type of step-down convertor to make sure the voltages are at 120v at the outlet? What other issues will I face? I do not want to change anything at the main service panel, fuse box(except the fuses), or the existing wire. As I want the ability to use 240/30 amp if a need arises in the future. Thank you. |
