Tandem to Reguler Socket Switch for AC
Hello!
I was hoping to try and setup a remote switch for my Air conditioner in my apartment, easy enough right? Unfortunately after examining my air conditioning unit I noticed that it is not a traditional wall plug so now I am forced to buy an adapter in order for this to work.
I have an idea of how I think the setup would work but I would like to double check to ensure that I am not going to be blowing anything up or destroying anything by having a setup like this. (No sparks flying when I plug it in)
My thought is that I will need to take the Air Conditioner Plug, and go into an adapter, and from the adapter into a Belkin switch. I am just concerned to whether or not this will be safe for the apartment and the outlet.
AC Plug: [ It appears to have a built in fuse? Any thoughts or concerns about that ]



Adapter: amazon link for product information/specifications

Any and all information is GREATLY appreciated as to whether or not this setup would function appropriately and safely in my apartment.
