How do i use 250v outlet designed for oven?

Hello all,

My apartment has a 3 hole socket that has 50amps 250v inscribed on it and it is connected to my oven. And that socket is connected to a 40amp breaker. considering I dont cook much, Can I convert this 250v outlet into multiple 120v outlets?

Also I have about 600 watts on a 15 amp breaker and about 800 on a 20 amp breaker. How many more watts can I add to each and be safe?

I believe you multiply volts times amps to get wattage.
If I had a 220/250/ outlet available, I might consider getting 240 volt 200 watt(actual!) CFL's from Europe for around $18/20 each. I see them on ebay all the time.
PM me if any ?'s Good luck & good grow.......BB

Watts and amps are very different, Watch your amps and you will be OK. I don't think you can convert your 220 to 110v. I do know you can run some ballasts on 220 though. Good luck

If your not popping any circuit breakers your probably OK the way you are.....JR

thanks yall. Im going to ask the bored electrician.
