OK so I think this can be done quite simply I just need to be positive.
I have an unused 240V stove plug (the 3 pronged triangle shaped) I
would like to use this power to hook up a home vacuum system. I want
to split the 240V line into a 120V outlet for the vacuum itself and the
other line for the outlets at each conection (one on each floor) for the
power for the tools & attachments. I believe I can connect the red
white to the outlet for the vacuum in a junction box and the white and
black to a new wire out to the outlets at each connection. OK so far?
The double breaker in the box says 40 on both connected breakers. Are
they both 20A then? Can I leave this together and use this breaker?
Am I OK here. Thanks for the help.
Wrap about 600 to 800 feet of insulated wire around your neck and
connect each of the ends to the plug on your vacuum. Put on some well
insulated rubber boots and stand where you dont touch any grounded
metal objects. Grab one of the 240 V wires in your left hand and the
other wire in your right. Turn on the breaker and you will have 120
volts going to the vacuum from the inductance of the coil of wire
around your neck.
Note: You might experience heart failure from doing this, but thats a
small price to pay for progress and technology. Better yet, if you do
survive, you will know you have a strong heart and can save a doctor
bill for cardiac testing.
