Using a regular 15A 120V electrical outlet on a circuit connected to a 30A double-pole breaker is not standard practice and is potentially dangerous. Here are a few points to consider:

1. Mismatched Equipment:
   - The outlet, wiring, and devices connected to the circuit should all be rated for the same current (amperage). Using a 15A outlet on a circuit protected by a 30A breaker is a mismatch.

2. Safety Hazard:
   - The purpose of circuit breakers is to protect the wiring and devices from overheating due to excessive current. If there's a short circuit or overload on the circuit, a 30A breaker should trip to prevent damage. If you have a 15A outlet on a 30A circuit, the outlet and connected devices may not be adequately protected, posing a safety hazard.

3. Code Violation:
   - Electrical installations must comply with local electrical codes. Mismatched components may violate these codes.

4. Fire Risk:
   - Mismatched electrical components can lead to overheating, which increases the risk of electrical fires. It's crucial to ensure that the entire electrical system is appropriately matched and installed.

If you find that a 30A double-pole breaker is connected to a circuit with 15A outlets, it's strongly recommended to have the electrical system inspected and corrected by a licensed electrician. They can assess the wiring, outlets, and breakers to ensure they are properly matched and comply with electrical codes for safety.
