You can, but be advised that whatever you plug into the new outlet should not exceed 5000W capacity (20A x 250V = 5000W)or you could risk overheating the new outlet with serious results. To prevent this, you should make sure the circuit breaker is a 20A also.

How do you upgrade from 120V 15A to 120V 20A or from 240V 20A to 240V 30A?
You have to replace the wire (as you are increasing the current capacity), the outlet, and the breaker. Essentially you have to remove the old circuit and put in a new one. You can't reuse parts of the old circuit as you are increasing the current capacity and they would be underrated.
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.
Will a 20A 240V breaker be sufficient for a 240V 22A input welder or do you need to go to a 30A?
It would have to be a 30 amp breaker to use the full power of the welder. I'd say go with the 30A. The general rule is that your planned load should only be 80% of the circuit capacity. That means a 30A circuit should have a maximum load of of (30*0.8) = 24A. With the 30 amp breaker you must have at least #10 wires feeding the circuit.
Missing fuse diagram can someone list the colors or fuses?
The fuse diagram for my 91 Capri is as fallows: Engine 15A Stop 20A Power Window 30A \ Meter 10A Hazard 15A ------ HTD B-light 20A Cigar 15A Tail 15A IG Relay Room 10A door lock 30A Audio 15A \ Fog Lamp 20A Air Cond 15A ----- \ Cooling Fan 20A Wiper 20A Heater 30A The IG Relay and the Heater are the big ones on the side of the fuse box.
Can you plug 1 ampere 12 volts dc appliance to a 30 ampheres 12 volt dc outlet?
The outlet is rated for 30A, so anything up to, but not exceeding 30A can be plugged in.
What amp lighter fuse 1999 E39?
Fuse number 7 on drop down panel inside glovebox. 30A or 20A can be used
Can you run a double pole 30 amp breaker to two 110 recepticles?
No, A double pole breaker is going to give you 220 volts. 220 Volts is too much voltage for a 110 Volt outlet to handle. == Answer== Better to pull the duplex 30a and install to single-pole 20a breakers...if one kicks out, you will know which side the problem's on. And there's no problem with running a 20a circuit over 10awg wire.
Mk3 golf cab where is fuse for roof?
It's under the bonnet, at the base of the coolant reservoir. There is a 30a strip fuse, and a 20a fuse behind it.

If you have a 240V dryer and installed 30A breakers on both sides of the line reads 120 and 120 how do you get 240 and you have a receptacle that reads 30A 125250 and still does not work?
you do NOT put two 110v breakers in. you put 1 two pole breaker in. the panel is designed to give you 220v off one side OR the other side if you use a 2 pole breaker on one side or the other side. If you look at both 120V lines on an oscilloscope you will notice that they are both 120V to the neutral, but they are 180 degrees out of phase. This means that when one hot is at +120V the other is at -120V. So between the two you have 240V. If you put your meter across both hots you should see 240V. If you do not see 240V across both hots you (or an unlicenced electrician) has wired the outlet without using a proper 220V breaker. You do not see 240V because the hots are in phase, to the voltage differential is 0V, not 240V. 220V breakers cannot do this, unless forcebly installed in the wrong type panel. More than likely someone tried to wire it with 110V breakers.
I have a need to charge up something that is rechargeable from an Asian country and want to know if you can plug a 240V foreign device with European 2-prong plug into a US 240V 3-prong dryer outlet?
No, it is not safe to plug a 240V foreign device with a European 2-prong plug into a US 240V 3-prong dryer outlet. The outlets have different configurations and voltages, which can damage the device or pose a safety hazard. You should use a voltage converter or transformer to safely charge your device in the US.
What is a 2 pole 30A circuit breaker?
A 2 pole 30A circuit breaker is a type of electrical protection device designed to interrupt the flow of electricity in a circuit if a fault is detected. "2 pole" means it has two sets of connections for both the hot and neutral wires, and "30A" indicates it can handle a maximum current of 30 amps before tripping. This type of breaker is commonly used for larger appliances or circuits that require more power.
