How should I convert 220 volt to 110?
Thanks for the link. That plug has a different configuration than that of my existing 220 outlet. But, I'll do some checking at the local box stores.

Ok McTokerâ?¦Iâ??ll walk you through it.
First thingâ?¦..break the circuit at the main or sub panel whatever
Next thingâ?¦.take note of the valve on the breakers or handle tie
Next â?¦..remove the receptacle, and take a picture.
If you can read the wire gauge on the wire, goodâ?¦probably wont be necessary though.
Iâ??ll check back later

How should I convert 220 volt to 110?
I bought a box that plugs into the dryer outlet and serves up enough power for 4 1000W lights and 10 amps of accessories for less than $300.
I'm very happy with it.Voting GOP this year is like giving the keys back to the drunk driver that wrecked the economy when they show no remorse for their actions and haven\'t even sobered up yet.

Sorry I took so long to respond but my health went south for a long spell.
eastbaygordo ~ Do you have any particulars on the "box" like sourse and model number? Didn't really want to spend that much though.
Horsemanrocks ~ If you're still around, I'm listening. I was gonna post some pics but I don't see the usual spot to do so. Things must have changed on the forum while I was gone. Anyway, looks like just one black wire, one white wire and one bare wire.

Just did more searching on line. Looks like the problem is solved. HD has a 3 prong to 4 prong adapter so I'll be able to just hook their generator adaptor to that. Heading down there tomorrow.
Thanks y'all.:thumbsup:

How should I convert 220 volt to 110?
Ended up ordering the items and they arrived today. So much for thumbnail pics and vague descriptions. The items aren't even close to what I need.
Looked at the Power Box option but I'd rather have a 15 amp 120 volt circuit rather than the 10 amp it provides.
I guess I'll just break down and call an electrician and have it done right.
Thanks y'all.

How should I convert 220 volt to 110?
My searching finally paid off. I found a device that is so simple even I can't mess it up (knock wood).
Actually I found them from several vendors. They are sold by equipment suppliers for folks that do commercial carpet cleaning or fire/flood restoration.
They say it takes a 30 Amp dryer outlet and converts it to two 20 amp 120 volt outlets.
Prices start about $99.
