    Electrical Outlet Box

    I'll take you up on the diagram. The box wiring is currently 10Ga all the way in the photos. I'm going to split out the 120 and 240 into two boxes. I will likely keep the existing box for one or the other and buy or make a second box. The gen rating is 30 amps in 120vac single phase and 15...

    Electrical Outlet Box

    I bought a variety of outlets that I need to use with my MEP-016B and made a box. One side is for the 120 VAC single phase setting and the other side is for the 240 VAC single phase setting. On the 240 side the 120VAC duplex outlet shown takes one outlet off of L1 - L0 and the other outlet off...
