If you do it will burn the winding immediately and make the fan inoperable.

So, No, don't plug in ANY 12VDC device into a 120 outlet.

Why would an in line fan work on a GFCI outlet then trip the outlet and Nothing changed?

The in line fan may be drawing too much power for the GFCI outlet to handle, causing it to trip. The outlet may not be faulty; rather, it is doing its job by tripping to prevent electrical hazards. Consider using the in line fan on a different circuit or using a lower wattage fan to prevent further tripping.

How do I properly install and plug in a bathroom exhaust fan to ensure effective ventilation?

To properly install and plug in a bathroom exhaust fan for effective ventilation, follow these steps: Choose the right size fan for your bathroom based on its square footage. Locate a spot on the ceiling where the fan will be most effective in removing moisture and odors. Cut a hole in the ceiling for the fan to fit into, following the manufacturer's instructions. Connect the fan to a power source, typically the nearest electrical outlet or a dedicated circuit. Ensure the fan is vented to the outside of the house to expel moist air properly. Test the fan to make sure it is working correctly and adjust settings as needed for optimal ventilation.


Can a 130W fan be installed into a 120V outlet?

Yes, a 130 watt fan can be plugged into a 120 volt receptacle. The current draw will be I = W/E, Amps = Watts/Volts = 130/120 = 1.08 amps.

What current will a 100w electric fan motor draw when you plug it into a 240v wall socket?

To calculate the current drawn by the 100W electric fan motor when plugged into a 240V socket, you can use the formula: Current (A) = Power (W) / Voltage (V). Therefore, Current = 100W / 240V = 0.42 Amperes. So, the motor will draw approximately 0.42A of current.
