Isolation is not your issue here!

If the overcurrent protection (breakers, fuses) are sized correctly, and the buildings wiring is sound, the A/C would not normally cause any other problem other than to trip its own breaker or fuse.

If an A/C unit is causing the buildings main breaker to trip, you need to have the electrical system for the building diagnosed and repaired.

IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOB

SAFELY AND COMPETENTLY

REFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS. If you do this work yourself, always turn off the power at the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work AND always use a meter or voltage indicator

to insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

Why would a window air conditioner short out after you replaced an old electrical outlet with an up to date one and made sure it was connected correctly?

It could be the air conditioner went out simply at that time and it has nothing to do with the outlet. My guess is, however, that something went wrong in the wiring process and you need to find a competent electrician to check it for you.


Can you plug a 115v air conditioner into a normal household outlet?

The voltage is OK, but the current the A/C draws will govern the size of the circuit wiring and receptacle configuration. If the A/C unit is under 15 amps, a regular 15 amp receptacle can be used. If over 15 amps then a bigger size wiring will be needed depending on the amperage draw of the unit.
