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 volts into 220 volts in a digital alarm clock with a plug in option?

You would need to use a voltage converter or transformer that can take in 110 volts and output 220 volts. Make sure the converter is rated to handle the power requirements of the digital alarm clock. Additionally, check the compatibility of the plug to ensure it fits the socket of the digital alarm clock.

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.

If 220 volt appliances consume half the power of 110 volt appliances why aren't refrigerators being sold in the USA with 220 volts?

In the US, household outlets are standardized at 110 volts, so 220 volt appliances would require special outlets and wiring, which can be inconvenient or expensive to install for most households. It is more cost-effective and practical for manufacturers to produce refrigerators that are compatible with the existing 110 volt outlets in the US market.
