I bought this house and I am guessing the former owner had something outside that ran on 240V. All they left were a bunch of wires hanging out of the wall. I want to make it into a regular 120V outlet.
The breaker is a dual 30Amp breaker with a white wire and a black wire coming in. Picture here: (The breaker is switched off)

I was hoping all I would have to do is remove the metal clip that binds the circuit breakers together and flip only one and I would get 120V, but that is not the case. It goes to zero when I do that.
I read some on the net and maybe I need to move the white wire from the breaker to the neutral pole in the breaker box?
Any help is appreciated.
