I have a circuit that is now 240v and I wish to change it to 120
volts. The switch that trips the fuse at the circuit box for that
curcuit consists of 2 switches connected together with a clip. If I
were to remove the clip and put one switch in the off position
permanently and the other one in the on position would this be a safe
and sound way to get 120v from this circuit? Would it matter which one
I used for the on circuit? Is this the right way to do this? Sorry if
this sounds ludicrous, I don't know much about electricity in a home.
