If you have a 240V 22A welder which has a plug similar but smaller than a dryer plug can you use this in a 120V outlet?

No, a 240V 22A welder requires a 240V outlet for proper operation. Plugging it into a 120V outlet will not provide enough power and could damage the welder or create a safety hazard. It is important to always use the correct voltage and amperage for electrical appliances.


Can you convert an existing 120V plug on an appliance to a 240V plug not speaking of a converter but actually changing the plug so there are no long term effects on the appliance?

No, you cannot convert an appliance designed for 120V to operate safely at 240V by changing the plug alone. The internal components of the appliance need to be designed to handle the higher voltage to prevent damage and ensure safety. Modifying the plug without considering the appliance's design may lead to serious damage or pose a safety hazard.


240V to a standard outlet?

You cannot plug a 240V appliance directly into a standard 120V outlet as it can cause damage or be a safety hazard. You would need a dedicated 240V outlet and possibly a step-down transformer to safely use the appliance. It's recommended to consult an electrician for proper installation.


How can you plug 2000 watts 240v into a 120v 20 amp breaker with out replacing your breaker and all the plugs on the line?

You cannot safely plug a 2000 watt 240v appliance into a 120v 20 amp breaker without risking damage or fire hazard. To use the appliance, consider installing a step-up transformer to convert the voltage from 120v to 240v before plugging it in. This will ensure the appliance operates correctly without overloading the circuit.


What adapters do you need to plug your 240V Ac plug into a 110V AC supply?

You would need a step-up transformer or voltage converter to plug a device with a 240V AC plug into a 110V AC supply. Make sure the converter can handle the wattage of your device and has the correct plug type for your country.

How can you wire a 110V plug outlet from a 240V plug outlet not speaking of a converter but actually changing the plug outlet so that there are no long term effects on the 120V appliance?

Assuming the wiring to the outlet has 2 loads and one neutral, isolate one load from the outlet and use the neutral as the common. be sure to ground from the receptacle to your conduit or ground lead. You should also replace the corresponding breaker with a 120 volt single breaker.
