Finally, replace the panel cover and turn the main power switch back on.
Got new AC code says we need to replace the 30 amp with a 15 amp to pass code can this be done with existing wires safely?
All depends on the size of the existing wiring. If you have a 30 amp breaker on AWG #14 wire then this is an unsafe condition that must be corrected. 15 amp requires that the wire be AWG #14. If the wire is #15 then you can and should install a 15 amp breaker. 30 amp breakers are used on AWG #10 wire.
Have 30 amp double pole need 15 amp 120v?
Remove the 30 amp double pole breaker and install at least one single pole 15 amp breaker. It is best if the other slot is not left open so if you have another single pole breaker of any size install it in the 2nd spot so it isn't open when you replace the cover on the panel. For your 15 amp circuit you need #14 gauge copper wire or larger with a hot, neutral, and ground. Your 30 amp circuit was probably wired with #10 gauge conductors. These will probably work on your 15 amp circuit but it may be difficult to connect #10 conductors to devices.
Can I replace a 50 amp 240v dryer outlet with a std 15 amp 240 volt outlet?
Theoretically yes if you remove the two pole 50 amp breaker and replace it with a 2 pole 15 amp breaker. This has to be done because the new receptacle is only rated at 15 amps and can not be protected by a breaker any larger than 15 amps.Physically this is not going to happen due to the fact that you will not be able to connect the existing #6 conductor, which fed the 50 amp dryer receptacle, under the terminals of the new 2 pole 15 amp breaker.
