Best Answer

You will need a 220 volt primary isolation transformer with a split, center taped, secondary 220 volt winding.

Answer for USA

If you live in the United States and your 220v circuit is a 2-pole circuit, you replace the 2-pole breaker with 2 individual 110v breakers and **PRESTO** you are now ready to run 2 individual 110v circuits.

If you wish to use existing wiring, and you have 3 wires plus ground, you have all you need. These 2 circuits can share the same neutral without any electrical danger.

Before you do any work yourself

on circuits, equipment or appliances,

ensure the circuit is, in fact, OFF.

This is possible only if there are separate ground and neutral conductors with the "hot" conductors. This is easy to tell because you will have 4 conductors. If you have 3 conductors it cannot be done without rewiring the circuit.

To do this each hot conductor becomes a separate circuit and they share the ground and neutral conductors. You may wish to replace your 2-pole breaker with individual breakers but this is not absolutely necessary.

It is very important that you do not move your breakers around. Sharing the neutral is contingent on having each hot conductor fed from separate legs of your single phase service. If you breakers are right next to each other, whether vertically or horizontally, this is true. I recommend you do not move the breaker locations around. Leave them where they are even if you replace the breakers and you don't have a problem.

How do you convert a 110-220 motor from 110 to 220?

volts? no, but you can convert 240volts to 110 volts, thus powering your drill properly. What that means is that, by using a power "Inverter'' you may Invert 240 to 110, thus not having to brake your head thinking about changing the motor of your drill. ( power converted)= fron 110 to 240 ( power inverter)= 240 to 110 I think I am right.

How to configure 110 volts power supply to receive 220 volts?

It is not possible to simply configure a 110-volt power supply to receive 220 volts. You would need a voltage converter or a step-up transformer to convert the 110-volt supply to 220 volts. It is better to consult with an electrician or a professional to ensure the correct equipment is used to avoid damage or injury.
