240 to 120 outlet conversion and other stuff
I need to convert a 240v outlet on the side of my air conditioner slot to 120v. Its a 6-15r wired with 12-2 w/ground to a 20A double pole breaker.
I cant have the 120v aircondtioner blowing on me as i run on the treadmill while watching the tv and have clothes washing and the llights on in 4 rooms on just a 15A 120v cuircuit. That was really annoying me last summer.
I know how to replace the outlet. Can i rewire the white neutral from the breaker in the panel since the double breaker is 20A or do i have to replace it with a single 120v 20A breaker, and if i do that what do i do about the missing knockout spot?
EDITops my bad 12-2
