What happens here

This project details the process of swapping an existing 30 Amp 250 Volt electrical outlet to a 15 Amp 250 Volt outlet, along with replacing the corresponding circuit breaker in the main electrical panel. This modification is necessary for the customer to safely power a 250 Volt kiln, used for knife making, which requires a lower amperage circuit.
