Depends more on the application and what else you might have on a current circuit you would use if you didn't install a separate circuit. At 120 volts you are only talking about drawing 8 amps. On a 15 Amp circuit this is fine. However, if there is a motor involved there may be excess start-up currents. There are certain appliances like stoves, refrigerators, dryers, dishwashers and so forth that require separate circuits. If you have a small heater you move from room to room then you can use an existing circuit that would not trip when you added the appliance. Use the cord that comes with the device directly into an outlet rather than using an extension cord. If the appliance needs to be hardwired into a box then use a dedicated circuit.

A circuit diagram, or schematic, is a picture of how the components in a circuit are connected together. Using the diagram, you can perform analysis of the design. You can also use it to troubleshoot a fault in the circuit.
Using tracks of metal such as on a PCB (printed circuit board) or using other electrically conductive material such as the graphite in 'lead' pencils.
Using a 265-volt appliance on a 220-volt line can be risky and may damage the appliance, cause a short circuit, or result in a safety hazard. It is recommended to use voltage converters or transformers to ensure safe operation of the appliance.
If you plug a 120VAC appliance into a 30 amp line, it will likely work fine assuming the appliance does not draw more current than the line can provide. However, the appliance may not be utilizing the full capacity of the line as a 30 amp line is designed to handle higher currents than what a typical 120VAC appliance would draw.
The circuit breaker obviously breaks the circuit but only in an attempt to stop a surge of electricity going through your house and possibly hurting you if you're using an appliance, or popping light bulbs and most likely starting a fire.
Yes, you can use a 15 amp appliance on a 20 amp socket. The appliance will only draw the amount of current it needs, so there should be no issue with using it on a higher amp socket. Just make sure the voltage matches.
A refrigerator is an appliance. Her appliance broke, so she had to get a new stove.
I went to the orthodontist to have an appliance put in my mouth.
Kitchen outlets are rated at 20 amps and only dedicated for the kitchen. code states that there must be two 20 amp circuits supplying kitchen small appliances. bedroom outlets are fed by a 15 amp circuit most likely and that circuit is most likely feeding two rooms or so.
Well, do the math. You shouldn't run a combined load of 33.9 amps off a circuit fused at 30 amps. Depending on the type of fuse (if it is a fuse and not a circuit breaker), the fuse may burn instantly or hold for a while before burning.
If the earth connection has a high resistance it is not capable of acting as a true earth. For example, the high resistance might mean that the fuse or circuit-breaker will fail to operate when there is a fault.
No, it is not safe to use a 20 amp microwave in a 15 amp home. The circuit in the home is designed to handle up to 15 amps, so using a higher amp appliance can overload the circuit and potentially cause a fire hazard. It is best to use appliances that match the electrical capacity of the home.
Carol and James headed straight to the appliance department to buy a new refrigerator. Some synonyms for appliance are machine, gadget, and apparatus.
You will have trouble plugging a 220 volt appliance into a 110 volt outlet because both have different polarities for the plug and receptacle that make it impossible for that action to happen.Altering the plug isn't too good of an idea, as the voltage demand of the appliance would be too heavy for the wiring.
