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 the impedance of a single phase inductive circuit having a voltage of 240volts and a current flow of 10amps?
Work it out for yourself. The equation is: Z = E/I, where Z is the impedance, E is the supply voltage, and I is the load current.
Why are you not getting 240v between the two hot wires?
Because they are "in-phase". In order to get 240v, you need two 120v Alternating Current lines that are 180° out of phase, that is, opposite phases. Only when one line is +120v and the other -120v will you see 240v between the wires.
If you put a 60W 120V bulb in a 120V lamp that has a transformer for 240V and plug it into a 240V outlet will it work or blow the circuitry?
Off hand no but your explanations are not clear as to who is doing what to whom,,
The electrical resistance of a 100w 240v bulb will be?
42 ohm
Can you run two laundry dryers on one 220 circuit?
No you can only have one dryer on a 240v circuit and nothing else can be attached to it either considering your using a 240v electric dryer
Is it possible to run a 240V heater and two 120V outlets from one line of 3 wire 12 gauge romex?
No, it is not recommended to run both a 240V heater and two 120V outlets from a single 3-wire 12-gauge line. This setup could overload the circuit and pose a safety hazard. It would be best to run separate circuits for the heater and the outlets to ensure proper electrical distribution and safety.
You have 120v photo flash lights - how do you use them with 240v in Oz?
Power adaptors are readily available that plug into Australia's 240v outlets, converting to 120v. Find them in travel, luggage and electronics stores.
Can GFCI circuit breaker handle a 240V circuit with a 120V circuit sub-paneled off if it?
I don't know if you are trying to ask if you can run a 240V panel off a GFCI or run a 120 V sub panel off of a GFCI. Can you clarify please,,,Thanks
Would a 30A 240V circuit breaker be too large to safely support a either a 20A or 23A 240V bandsaw?
Yes it will operate it fine.
If you are building a woodworking shop that will have several 240V tools can you install multiple 240V outlets on the same 30A circuit if only one or two tools will be running at the same time?
Yes you can have multiple 220 outlets, but if you are using multiple saws and start kicking your breaker, do not put a bigger breaker in to keep it from tripping you'll break up the protection inside of your wire, and then you'll have major problems. If it don't burn down. If you do start tripping the breaker you will need to run another circuit. Don't just "get used to resetting it." It is a very bad habit and will possibly wear your breaker out. -- HMM... not so sure about that. Maybe that's how they do it where nobody cares. It's against most electrical codes to put more than one 240V appliance on a single circuit, or even to create the possibility by adding receptacles. The simple answer would be to either add a circuit (within the limits of the panel and service) or to unplug one tool and plug the other in.
Can you tie into your kitchen run to get your 240V to a receptacle?
No, tying into a kitchen run to power a 240V receptacle is not recommended. It's best to install a dedicated circuit for the receptacle and ensure that the wiring and circuit breaker are appropriately sized to handle the load. This will help prevent overloading the circuit and ensure safety.
What kind of fuse need to use for 240V outlet?
For a 240V outlet, you should use a fuse that is rated for 240V. The fuse's amperage rating should match the amp rating of the circuit and be appropriate for the connected devices. It's important to use the correct type and rating of fuse to protect the circuit from overloading and electrical hazards.
A W pf capacitor is connected into a 240 V Hz circuit. what is the current flow in this circuit?
a 30 pf capacitor is connected into a 240v, 60 hz circuit. what is the current flow into the circuit
Is there adapters for 250 volt to 120 volts?
No. There are no "adaptors". To get 240V from a 120v supply you use a 120-240V step up transformer. <><><> Clothes dryers, water heaters and and other high-power 240 volt appliances cannot be run on a transformer from a 120 volt circuit. They must be powered from a separate branch circuit that has the right size breakers, cable and socket outlet to suit the appliance.
If you have bought 2 appliances that require 240v outlets each and you only have one what is the easiest and efficient thing to do?
The easiest thing to do is use the appliances one at a time. If you need to use them simultaneously, then the ONLY safe way to do it is to have a qualified electrician add a second complete circuit for the second appliance.
How do you convert a 120V receptacle to a 240V receptacle for a European stereo system that uses 230V if the Stereo has no toggle switch to 110V like some units on the market?
Converting a 120V receptacle to a 240V receptacle requires more than just changing the outlet. It involves creating a circuit that provides 240V power, which typically requires running a new wire from a 240V breaker in the electrical panel. It's important to consult with a licensed electrician to ensure the conversion is done safely and in compliance with electrical codes.
