120VAC to 240VAC power converter, adapter and methods of use
Abstract:
The present invention is directed, in part, to electrical components and methods of use associated with such components. In particular, the invention relates to an electrical device and methods of converting the use of 120 VAC electrical power into 240 VAC electrical power in order to power 240 VAC-requiring equipment and appliances. The electrical system includes at least two 120 VAC electrical cords and plugs, at least one 240 VAC outlet, a plurality of electrical switches and coils managed by a plurality of electrical relays within a central housing unit. The housing unit includes hot side, neutral side and ground wiring that transfer 120 VAC electrical power through the plurality of switches so that the power is safely routed to a 240 VAC outlet for use in powering 240 VAC-requiring equipment and appliances. As a safety feature, the invention further includes a plug circuit breaker that will break the electrical circuit within either a 120 VAC or 240 VAC plug.
