You need a step down transformer. A transformer that will step 240 volts to 120 volts. Check with Radio shack or your local electrical supplier. This saw draws 15 amps when it is running (1800 watts). It will draw close to 30 amp instantaneous when it starts. The transformer that you will need, should have at least a 2KVA rating. Even better a 2.5KVA.

Can you run your neon sign of 120v 50hz 60hz 0.6a 7.5kv 30mA in an Australian 240v power outlet?
No. The neon sign is fed by a step-up transformer. Primary side 120V, secondary side 7500V. If you applied 240 to the primary side you would get 15000 volts on the neon tube. A flash over and then nothing. If you can find a transformer from 120V to 240V or 240V to 120V then you are good to go. Connect 240V to 240V side and you will get 120V out the other, connect the 120V side to the neon sign and you should have light. Transformer should be at least 100va. This will give you an output of .83 amps at 120V
Can you convert a 120 volt Yamaha clavinova to 240 volts?
Electronic technician will convert in no time. You need 240v power transformer in place of same wattage 120V. Super easy.
600 watts requires how many amps?
It depends on the voltage source. watts = voltage * voltage / resistance and amps = voltage / resistance example 1: To produce 600W from a 120V source, you need a resistor of size 120V*120V/600W = 24 Ohm. This would pull 120V/24 Ohm = 5 amps. example 2: To produce 600W from a 240V source, you need a resistor of size 240V*240V/600W = 96 Ohm. This would pull 240V/96 Ohm = 2.5 amps.

120V light fixtures wall mounted you want to convert to 240V for a house overseas?
It will work it you use 240 volt light bulbs.
You are building a new house and trying to decide between 120v and 240v which is better More practical?
In the US, both 120v and 240v will be needed for your home, as different appliances need different voltages. Your TV needs 120V, while your electric dryer and stove will need a 120V/240V supply. If you have an electric water heater, or central AC unit, they will need a 240V supply.
Why are you not getting 240v between the two hot wires?
Because they are "in-phase". In order to get 240v, you need two 120v Alternating Current lines that are 180° out of phase, that is, opposite phases. Only when one line is +120v and the other -120v will you see 240v between the wires.
