What are the steps in upgrading 120V 15A to a 240V 60A air condition panel?
You have to find Line 1 and Line 2 to get your 240 volts. Both do not exist in a 115vac panel. If coming from a main panel, you would install a 60amp 2 pole breaker and then run heavier wire to the a/c unit. A sub-panel could be added if no spaces are left tin the main panel.
