Can you run a 110v heater on 220v circuit?
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.
What is average 208-230 voltage?
208V is one standard in the US for light commercial 3-phase power. It measures 208V phase to phase and 120V phase to neutral. 230 (or 240)V refers (in the US) to the common service supplied to residential. It is single-phase, with two hots and a neutral; 120-0-120. One hot and the neutral (120V) is used for receptacles and small appliances, both hots (240V) are used for large appliances, such as stoves, ovens, air conditioning, and water heater.
Is there a switch available to control power to a thermostat for 20A 240V electric baseboard heater?
There are two types of thermostats. One is a line voltage stat. This is in effect a switch and when turned to the off position the voltage is interrupted and the heater will not operate. The other type of stat is low voltage. There will be a relay in the baseboard heater that the thermostat is connected to. With this type if installation to turn the power completely off you will have to turn the breaker off that feeds the circuit.
What are the averag volts used in a US Home?
US homes use a 240 volt single phase 'Edison' system. It is a 3-wire (4 with the ground) system. Phase to phase measures 240v, while each phase to neutral measures 120v.
Sequencer in forced air electric furnace is activated by?
when the wall thermostat closes a contact (at the set temperature), 24 volts is passed through a concave metal disk in the sequencer. The current heats the disk expanding the metal till it pops to a convex position pushing a plastic insulator rod, attached to a metal bar that closes the 208v or 240v circuit activating one of the heating elements or furnaces fan
