You can, but be advised that whatever you plug into the new outlet should not exceed 5000W capacity (20A x 250V = 5000W)or you could risk overheating the new outlet with serious results. To prevent this, you should make sure the circuit breaker is a 20A also.

How do you upgrade from 120V 15A to 120V 20A or from 240V 20A to 240V 30A?
You have to replace the wire (as you are increasing the current capacity), the outlet, and the breaker. Essentially you have to remove the old circuit and put in a new one. You can't reuse parts of the old circuit as you are increasing the current capacity and they would be underrated.
Would a 30A 240V circuit breaker be too large to safely support a either a 20A or 23A 240V bandsaw?
Yes it will operate it fine.
Will a 20A 240V breaker be sufficient for a 240V 22A input welder or do you need to go to a 30A?
It would have to be a 30 amp breaker to use the full power of the welder. I'd say go with the 30A. The general rule is that your planned load should only be 80% of the circuit capacity. That means a 30A circuit should have a maximum load of of (30*0.8) = 24A. With the 30 amp breaker you must have at least #10 wires feeding the circuit.
Missing fuse diagram can someone list the colors or fuses?
The fuse diagram for my 91 Capri is as fallows: Engine 15A Stop 20A Power Window 30A \ Meter 10A Hazard 15A ------ HTD B-light 20A Cigar 15A Tail 15A IG Relay Room 10A door lock 30A Audio 15A \ Fog Lamp 20A Air Cond 15A ----- \ Cooling Fan 20A Wiper 20A Heater 30A The IG Relay and the Heater are the big ones on the side of the fuse box.
Can you plug 1 ampere 12 volts dc appliance to a 30 ampheres 12 volt dc outlet?
The outlet is rated for 30A, so anything up to, but not exceeding 30A can be plugged in.
What amp lighter fuse 1999 E39?
Fuse number 7 on drop down panel inside glovebox. 30A or 20A can be used
What size breaker should be used for a dryer in Canada?
Minimally 30 AMPS
Can you run a double pole 30 amp breaker to two 110 recepticles?
No, A double pole breaker is going to give you 220 volts. 220 Volts is too much voltage for a 110 Volt outlet to handle. == Answer== Better to pull the duplex 30a and install to single-pole 20a breakers...if one kicks out, you will know which side the problem's on. And there's no problem with running a 20a circuit over 10awg wire.
Mk3 golf cab where is fuse for roof?
It's under the bonnet, at the base of the coolant reservoir. There is a 30a strip fuse, and a 20a fuse behind it.
What breaker do you use for 10-2 wire?
Assuming a 120V circuit then a 30A Single Pole. For a 240V circuit an 30A two pole. Of course anything smaller that a 30A is acceptable. 30A is the maximum allowed.
What is the US equivalent of European 4x2.5 sq mm HO7RN-F and could US 10 2 be substituted for the European cable to hardwire a 240V 27A appliance?
If you want an American plug to power a 30A 220V device look at a dryer outlet. It will have an extra neutral conductor, but it is standard. Otherwise, you can go with a 220V 30A TwistLok plug. All the home centers [I've been to] carry these plugs. 10ga wire is heavy enough for 30A runs under 75ft, though for a 27A appliance you should consider a 40A breaker with 8ga wire.
