== == You need a 240 volt specific outlet and to run new cable to a new wall box fitted in the required position, etc. If it is a new circuit, the breaker box will require a new two pole breaker. But doing this is very, very dangerous. Done improperly, you could die, cause a house fire, or both. == == <><><> You will need to have room in your breaker box for a two pole breaker (i.e. a 20 amp type that spans both legs in your panel). You would then run 10 or 12 gauge cable from the box to the socket making sure to attach the cable according to the building standards in your area. If any of this sounds the least bit unfamiliar to you I would strongly recommend that you hire a professional to do this for you. Incorrectly wired circuits can cause serious injury and death as well as loss of property.

For your safety and that of anyone else who may to use the appliance, ask a professional licensed electrician to advise you or to do the work for you. 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 an electrician's test meter having metal-tipped probes

(not a simple proximity voltage indicator)

to insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized. : IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOB

SAFELY AND COMPETENTLY

REFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.

What current will a 100w electric fan motor draw when you plug it into a 240v wall socket?

To calculate the current drawn by the 100W electric fan motor when plugged into a 240V socket, you can use the formula: Current (A) = Power (W) / Voltage (V). Therefore, Current = 100W / 240V = 0.42 Amperes. So, the motor will draw approximately 0.42A of current.

What is Voltage in Australia?

The standard household electrical supply is 240 Volts AC at 50 Hertz nationally. Note that Australia's used the "I" plug (socket), so if you're coming from almost anywhere else (except for a few countries, including parts of China), then socket compatibility is an issue. The best thing to do is to buy a universal plug adapter.
