Electricity question.
leapingbare:
Let me start by saying that electricity and myself don't get along to well.
Ok i have this Kiln that runs off 240v I need to be able to run it off 120v.
Dose all the wiring need to be replaced or just the power cord?

Don't quote me on this, cause I'm not the best at electricity either, but I think all that needs to happen is if you buy one of those converters from Walmart. It may not work though if the plug on the kiln isn't European.
leapingbare:
its got a dryer plug on it now.

I just had a wild idea.
I have a power outlet on the back of my house it has two 120v outlets. could i rewire that to have one 240v outlet? and would that run my kiln?
Badger:
Nearly all homes have 2 120 lines and a nuetral. You need to have a 220 plug wired up from your fuse box. You cant just put together two 120 plugs because they are likely going to be off the same 120 leg. You can probably get it done for around $100.00 if you shop around a bit. Steve
