morningsidemustangs Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Can I run a 10/4 30A 240 cable out to my controler then use each side of the 240 to power 20A of 120? Will I run into trouble becasue the 120 will be sharing a neutral this way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I did the same thing this year... I had a 30A rv recept put out back last summer. I needed more power so I though a bit and that is exactly what I came up with. I took the male end of the RV plug and ran 50 feet of 10/3 to a breakout box with two 110 outlets on. It worked great, as a matter of fact I am going to put two more ourtdoor boxes in this year to do the same.greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donald Puryear Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 One more with both 110v and 220v Rec. This box is powered by a 10/4 SO cord. It Also has a 30amp 4 wire twist lock cord cap. These boxes make it alot easier to supply power for my different activities thru the seasons. Attached files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald Puryear Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I place them near a large object( Mega Tree, Or Large inflatable) and install them on 2 foot wooden stakes and cover them with a black trash bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
