No.
It'll overload and fail just about immediately.
It's possible - but not recommended - to run two 110 v heaters in series from a 220v circuit.

How can you supply 220v machine to 208v supply?
Most 220 volt equipment will work on 208 volt supply. If the machine has a resistive load then the watts output will be lower than if supplied from a 220 volt source. If it is a motor load you will find that the equipment may run a bit slower but most motors will take the lower voltage. If the machine is a plug in device, install the appropriate receptacle to match the pin configuration and plug it in. If it is a hard wire installation this should be done by a qualified person.
How do you calculate the current converting 110V 5.5 A to 220V?
110 v 5.5 amps is 605 watts. If it is transformed, the power in watts stays the same (in principle), so the 220 system would run at 2.75 amps.
How do you rewire a 400 watt metal halide shop light to run on 110?
400w is the power 110 is the voltage. Is your light using 110v already or 220v? Believe you are already running at 110 and u don't understand electrical terms. Perhaps you should call an electrician
What happens when you connect a 110 volt motor to 220 volts?
On a three wire supply system if you connect the two 110V wires together and they are across the phase they will short out and trip the breaker. If the two 110V wires are supplied from across the phase and connected to a motor then the motor will run. If the 110V wires are on the same phase nothing will happen.
How do you run a 220V from the box?
Three phase or two phase? Three phase requires three large wires for the current needed
Can you use the 220v 50hz appliances in 110v 60hz?
Depends. Some smaller stuff can usually run on both, in which case it will be printed on them. If it isn't, you can't run a 220v item on 110v.
Can you plug a 220v deep fryer into a 110v outlet?
No. Attempting to run an appliance on insufficient voltage can cause damage to the appliance and can be dangerous. Call an electrician and get him to install a 220v plug
What is best to use 230volt or 110volt water pumps?
Either. Motor size or your available power local to the pump installation are the determining factors. If you have to use a large motor, 220v requires less amp draw on the circuit and allows a smaller wire than a large motor running 110v. If 110v is already there and you only need a small motor, run 110v.
Can i use a 220 volt ac in the basement to run branch circuits for 110 volt lighting?
Yes, you can use 220V to 110V step-down transformers for this purpose.
Is there anyway to get 220V 60hz from a 110V 50hz power supply?
It would involve some electronics work but it could be done. Might add that it could be more expensive than just buying the proper power supply. Use Use 220V 60hz motor to run 110V 50hz Generator.
Can you run a 60hz 110V motor on 50 hz 220V with a step down transformer?
NO dear we can not rotate a 110 vlolt motor on 220,but if your voltage is 110v then y can rotate it on 50hz ,no problem,but it will rotate at lower speed, ENGR. NASEER AHMED,PAKISTAN
What do you need to do to convert a 220V waterfall picture to 110V?
You need to acquire a 110V to 220V step-up transformer. Just be sure to take into consideration the frequency of the AC voltage. I believe the UK runs at 50 hz. and the US is at 60 hz. What that means to you is that the waterfall will run faster here in the States. Also be sure that the transformer's output will match the power consumption of the device you're going to power with it. Do they make such a device? Yes, but you can also use a 220V to 110V step-down transformer in reverse. (Providing it's just a transformer.)
How to run a 110v outlet from a 220v heater?
This answer is specific to the US and other regions that use 120/240 split phase power. This is generally not recommended because it would cause the poles of the circuit breaker to be unbalanced. You will need to have access to one of the hot leads, a neutral lead, and an earth ground lead. Dedicated 240V circuits generally do not have a neutral wire, because they only need both hot leads and the earth ground.
Can I use a 220V oven with 110V outlet?
No, and if you don't have a 220v outlet, you will need an electrician to run a #8 copper wire with a direct line to the electrical panel (40 or 50 amp), depending on the oven's requirments - check the manual.
Can you use 120V lamps in Europe by just putting in a 240V bulb and a European adapter on the plug?
If all the components are rated to 220V, yes. Keep in mind that if the appliance was designed for 110V it may arc if 220 is run through it. If you don't know the device can handle 220V, don't run it at 220V. Chances are it was manufactured cleaply and cannot handle the extra voltage.
I have a 1960 vintage Juke Box that runs on European 220v 50Hz power. Is there a device I can purchase that will convert US 110v 60Hz power to run this machine?
Yes, purchase a step-down transformer.
