My garage has an AC, which is never used (its so wasteful to heat and cool the room! prefer just to put on a fan) Thinking that if i install a unit like this, i can break this in to two separate 20 amps circuits for outlets, or use the AC if i feel the need. https://www.amazon.ca/Baomain-Universal.../dp/B08HWM7CMR/

Anyone do something similar?

    Ground wires in Canada are un-insulated, and not rated to carry continuous current. Huge electrical code violation doing this.

    Better off just converting one of the hot wires to a neutral (tag the wire with white tape please), and moving the circuit to a single pole breaker.
