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. |

1. An electrical system comprising at least two electrical cords configured with at least two 120 VAC electrical cords and plugs, one 240 VAC electrical outlet, said at least two 120 VAC cords and plugs being operably connected to said 240 VAC electrical outlet via a plurality of electrical relays, at least three electrical switches, one or more ground wires, one or more neutral wires and one or more supply wires, wherein said electrical system routes 120 VAC power into 240 VAC power so that such power can be used to operate 240 VAC power requiring equipment, wherein said electrical system includes a first electrical relay that manages a first set of switches operably connected to a first 120 VAC cord and plug, wherein said electrical system further includes a second electrical relay that manages a second set of switches operably connected to a second 120 VAC cord and plug and wherein said electrical system includes a third electrical relay that manages a third set of switches operably connected to said 240 VAC cord and outlet, wherein said power coming from said first and second 120 VAC cords and plugs are routed from 120 VAC electrical outlets that transfer power in alternate electrical supply phases, wherein said power from said first and second 120 VAC outlets is routed to the correct prong receivers on said 240 VAC outlet, wherein a user connects said 240 VAC electrical outlet to a 240 VAC power-requiring piece of electrical equipment thereby providing power to said 240 VAC power-requiring piece of electrical equipment. |
