Good Day,
I need your help and advise regarding installation of a 20A, HTB series fuse holder (with fuse) inside of a box. The project will be done in a residential home, 240/120V, in the United States.
Scope of Application: I have a NEMA 10-30R receptacle in one of my bathrooms for what used to be the clothes dryer before I got rid of it. I do not use the clothes dryer, therefore my plan is to use one leg of the 240Vrms to connect to one of my 120V receptacles next to the sink in the same bathroom. In the NEMA 10-30R box I have the following: 1 Black Hot wire, 1 Red Hot wire, 1 White Neutral wire, 1 bare Ground wire. I have measured with DMM the voltages across the red to white = 120V, across the black to white = 120V, and across the red and the black = 240V. With such a combination I believe I am blessed to continue as planned, splice the #10AWG with a #12AWG, but please confirm on that. My question is how shall I aesthetically mount the fuse holder? By a simple search I have found the following link below which does not really express full details on the install, but does show an in-line fuse installation into a 6x6x4 box. Perhaps other experts on this forum may suggest even a better, more aesthetically pleasing installation. Please provide guidance and suggestions.
