I think you need to control the circuit with a 220 breaker so that both phases
will be turned off at the same time.

> Hello,

> I want to install an electrical outlet (the standard 120V duplex type) in a
box where both phases (sic) are available. I have noticed that duplex
receptacles normally have both sockets connected together, but there are
little break-away tabs that would allow you to wire each socket independently.
So, i was thinking of hooking up the receptacle so that each of the 120v
phases was connected to a different socket (and of course the neutral was
common to both).

doing it? BTW, the junction box is supplied from a single 20-amp duplex
breaker.
