240-120 volt combination
receptacle This combination receptacle lets you plug in both 120 volt lamp and 240 volt window air conditioner. How to wire: Install 12-3 wire. Hots are connected to one double breaker inside breaker box, and Neutral is connected to Neutral busbar. Single breaker is not used. See image of 12-3 wiring inside breaker box Option: You can draw a Neutral wire from any nearby 120 volt outlet or ceiling box, and this Neutral connects to silver screw on receptacle, however the 240 volt Hot wires must come from a dedicated breaker that serves only that 240 volt receptacle. Caution for double receptacles: using 20 amp outlet (15 amp is pictured on left) You cannot run more than 20 total amps at one time. Volts x amps = watts For example if 240 volt window air conditioner pulls 16 amps, and you have 1500 watt 12.5 amp space heater on 120 volt plug, it will only work if neither is ON at same time. However if you are using 240 volt 16 amp air conditioner, and plug in 120 volt light with two 100 watt bulbs (200 watts), then the light will pull 1.6 amps and total amp draw is within capacity of 20 amp circuit.
