How do I convert existing 3 wire 220 volt 20 amp breaker wire system to 110 volt from the box to the recepticle?

Assuming there is no neutral:
1) Turn off the breaker.
2) Disconnect 1 of the 2 hot wires from the breaker and connect it to the neutral bar (Recommend phase taping the wire white :) ) Remember which wire you used as the neutral, in a home you will most likely have a black and a red. I would keep the black hot, and phase tape the red wire white. If it's not long enough you can wire nut another white wire onto it to make it reach the neutral bar.
3) Leave the breaker OFF, at the receptacle, change it to a 120 volt receptacle. Take the wire you made the neutral, and connect it to the white screw on the 120 v receptacle, and take the black to the hot. Ground to the ground screw. Make sure you phase tape the red wire at the receptacle white as well.
4) turn the breaker on
5) test the receptacle with a meter or receptacle testing device for correct wiring.

∙ 11y agoBreaker panels and fuse panels are not compatible. The over current devices connect to the main buss in different configurations. In a fuse panel you will need access to two unused fuse spaces. The 220 volt load will be connected across these two fuses. In a breaker panel you would need two adjacent spare breakers slots. This is what a two pole breaker is used for. The load will be connected across the output of the two pole breaker. The two pole breaker will have a common on-off handle so that if one side of the breaker trips both legs of the 220 volt load will disconnect from the supply source.

What is one and half breaker system in electrical lines?
One and half breaker system is an improvement on the double breaker system to effect saving in the number of circuit breakers. For every 2 circuits, 1 spare breaker is provided: Two feeders are fed from two buses via their associated circuit breakers and these two feeders are coupled by a third circuit breaker which is called tie breaker. During failure of any of the two feeder breakers, the power is fed via the breaker of the second feeder and main breaker (tie breaker).
