Yes you can. It involves working in the breaker box and changing out breakers. You'll also have to "re-identify" the black wire to green for your ground.

If you think you can do this, post back and I'll provide details on how.

Yes I Can! The fuse box has 2 30amp fuses.

At the breaker box you'll need a single 15amp breaker. YOU CANNOT USE THE EXISTING 30AMP BREAKER! Attach the black wire to the new breaker and the white wire to the neutral bus (where all the other whites are attached). You now have a red wire remaining. You'll use this as the ground wire. YOU MUST perform what is called "re-identifying" the wire by wrapping green tape around the wire. This lets someone know that the wire is a ground wire and not a hot wire (red is hot, green is ground). Attach this wire to the ground bus (where all the bare copper wires are).

Wiring the GFCI is just like a standard receptacle (black and white on the terminals and your RED (which has now become a ground wire) on the green ground screw. Make sure to wrap the red wire with green tape at the GCFI also! This is very important!

Can you use a 15 amp 115 volt device in standard outlet?

The outlet is connected to and protected by a breaker or fuse in a main electric panel. The outlet should be sized to the protection. Usually utility outlets in a residence are either 15 A or 20 A. If there are multiple outlets on a circuit then the total current cannot exceed the protection value of the breaker or fuse.

How do you change from 15 amp fuse to 20 amp fuse?

The only way you can change a 15 amp to a 20 is you have to replace the 14 gauge wire going to it with a 12 gauge wire, then replace the 15 amp breaker with a 20 amp breaker. You can put a 15 amp outlet on a 20 amp circuit as long as there is more then one receptacle. A double receptacle counts as two receptacles. Steve Green Coeur d'Alene, Idaho
