What wattage of heaters would you use if 2 are wired in series with 120 vac to equal same as 2 heaters of 210 wattage each wired in parallel?
-- Two loads ... each of which dissipates 210 watts on a 120V supply ...when wired in parallel, dissipate 420 watts.-- Two others in series also want to dissipate 420 watts, so each of thosedissipates 210 watts on a 60V supply.Power dissipated is proportional to the square of the voltage, so on a 120V supply,each of these would dissipate 840 watts .
What is the standard power of apc 1500?
The APC 1500 has a standard power of 865 watts/1500 VA. The APC 1500 has an output of 120V and an output of 120v. The specifics of the model can be found on the official website.
If you have a 240V dryer and installed 30A breakers on both sides of the line reads 120 and 120 how do you get 240 and you have a receptacle that reads 30A 125250 and still does not work?
you do NOT put two 110v breakers in. you put 1 two pole breaker in. the panel is designed to give you 220v off one side OR the other side if you use a 2 pole breaker on one side or the other side. If you look at both 120V lines on an oscilloscope you will notice that they are both 120V to the neutral, but they are 180 degrees out of phase. This means that when one hot is at +120V the other is at -120V. So between the two you have 240V. If you put your meter across both hots you should see 240V. If you do not see 240V across both hots you (or an unlicenced electrician) has wired the outlet without using a proper 220V breaker. You do not see 240V because the hots are in phase, to the voltage differential is 0V, not 240V. 220V breakers cannot do this, unless forcebly installed in the wrong type panel. More than likely someone tried to wire it with 110V breakers.
What is 2 wire plus ground 240V?
With one interpretation of this question, the answer would be two 120V wires and a ground.
What is the line voltage between two lines?
the voltage between 1 line & phase =120v The voltage between 2 line =240
Do all cb radios have to be pluged into a car?
No. Some carry batteries internally (handhelds), and some are wired for 120v power (base stations).

What will happen when the shunt motor is connected across the supply line directly?
If the motor is designed for 120V or 220V whatever the case, it will function properly.If it is a 12V motor and you supply 120V it will make a mess and you will probably get hurt from flying debris!
Can you feed a 208v 200amp panel from 480v 20amp circuit?
Not directly, you would need to transform 480v circuit to 120v with a transformer first.
Single phase 4 pole Gen alt w 240V 60hz output no neutral. you check from each lead to ground and get 50-70V How do you get a neutral for connecting Gen to a standard breaker box having 240V and 120V?
Neutral is at the jumper that changes it from 120v to 240v. Two stator windings are used in series to make 240v; at that junction is (when wired in Series)your neutral/common/ground. Ground this terminal and use it for your neutral/common. When wired in parallel you have 110v and the jumper is removed and there is no common/neutral and ground is from the frame of the generator.
In an electrical security light when turned on works as normal when turned of has 120 volts on the live and has 240 on neutral what would be the problem?
When light is turned off, you measure 120V at point B and 240V at point C. Since your reference point is A, then A to C is 240V and A to B is 120V. This iteration confirms point B ("120 volts on the live") is probably your neutral, and you are wired incorrectly.
Can 6 20v cordless batteries be series wired to produce 120v?
Yes, but be careful! If you produce it from batteries, then it's DC ...NOT the kind of 120v you get from a wall outlet, and you can't usethe battery stack to run anything that expects to be plugged intothe wall. With the possible exception of incandescent lights or atoaster, but cordless-phone batteries will not deliver enough juiceto run a toaster ... not for more than a couple seconds anyway.You can use the batteries to produce the voltage, but I'll be verysurprised if you have anything that can run on 120v DC.
Can a 120V chandelier be hard-wired to a 240V power source in Europe using 240V bulbs and will the wires handle the load?
as long as the total WATTAGE of the bulbs is the same, you should get the same light and the wires will handle the load just fine.
How do you change a heater from 120 volts 3a to 240 volts 1.5 a?
the simplest solution is by connecting two 120v 3amps heater in series , the same can be used directly on 240v. However the current drawn will still be 3 amps & Not 1.5 amps. The heater output power will be double that of a single heater running on 120v. ( or equvalent to two heaters operating on 120v. supply ) A more expensive method is to use a stepdown transformer which can be powered on 240v & connect the heater on the transformer 120v side. this method will consume approx. 1.5 amps from the 240v supply.
Is there a way to install a 277V light on a 120V circuit?
no ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stepdown transformer. More expensive than buying the correct light fixture. Y-THINK-Y
Can an overhead 400W light with built in ballast that is currently wired to use 480V be rewired to use 120V?
Only if the ballast is a multi tap ballast.:Even if you could install a 120V ballast, or tap it to 120V with the existing one, Current may become an issue. To run the 400W light (sodium?) Now instead of the .833 amp range it's more like 3.33 amps. Supply wiring would have to be able to handle that. Those types of lights are often on long runs to building and grounds lights, parking lots, etc. Using 480 saves a lot on wiring costs.
WIll sump motor blow if I connect 240V?
It may not blow, but it will turn twice as fast and burn out very quickly. It is meant for 110 only. Check the sump pump. Some of them can be wired either 120v or 240v. If yours is like that, just wire the motor for 240v and plug it in.
