    240v & 120v help
    In a non-residential cabinet, I have 240v equipment being fed by a single pole breaker and 1 side of a tandem breaker.

    Can I tap the hot going to tandem breaker to feed the other side for a 110v outlet.

    The main panel breaker would disconnect the cabinet completely do
    Isn't this legal.
