How to make an outlet from range plug
|
|
I have been wondering if I can make a box that plugs into my 240v range out let that will have an extension cord for my brewing panel? Like a power bar I guess.

Sure. Just get a male plug and female connector. You can make an extension cord whatever length you need. The cable and ends can get a bit pricey though.
*edit* sorry if I misunderstood. I am not sure what you mean by power bar.

Are you looking to split the 240V to 120V? If so this can be done if you have a 3+G cable run to the outlet, or a 4 prong range outlet.
What voltage does your control panel need? Give us some specifics and we can try to help out.

I was looking to make the toolbox control panel. I want to make a box that I can plug into the wall, plug the range into that and have a cord run from the box to the control panel.

I want to use the 240v for brewing without having to unplug the range.

Hmmmm, how many amps is the breaker that your range runs on?

Just buy 1 male plug, 2 female plugs and some x gauge wire. X= gauge of wire you need to safely use the outlet based on amps being drawn & length of cord.
Make your own splitter. As long as you don't use both at the same time the outlet in the wall won't care if split the physical connection after the socket

Honestly, I think that if you're asking this questions, you should be hiring someone.
Personally, I would just pop a hole in the wall below the range plug, install a second range-plug box as a brew plug and run the wires in parallel from the range plug to the brew plug (inside the wall, of course).
Be careful of your total power requirements, you may overrun the breaker if you've got the oven and stove on and you're trying to run brew equipment.
Alternatively, clip another breaker into your breaker box and run a fresh wire to your brew room and install a plug.

I can create a splitter in basic circuits, Just wondering if it's the same thing. I wouldn't be using oven and brew at the same time.
