Is it possible to hook up 120 Volt lights and plugs to a 240 Volt circuit?

European circuits need a transformer.
North American circuits have 120/240 Volt supply. Using a neutral and one of the hot lines would work.
To understand, think of two twelve volt batteries connected together in series.
The voltage on the outside two terminals is 24 volts. The voltage from any outside terminal to the center is 12 Volts.
With two wires from each of the outside terminals and one from the center, giving you the option of 24 Volt or 12 volt with three wires.

How long does current remain in a 220 volt circuit?
The current will remain in a 220 volt circuit as long as the circuit load remains in the circuit and the circuit remains closed.
A 15 volt battery is connected to 4 lights of the same resistance in a series circuit How many volts of electricity run across each light?
There is a 3.75 Volt drop across each bulb.
What happens when 110 volt airbrush compresor TC 196 is plugged into a 240 volt source?
First, someone would have changed the plug before that would be possible. 240 Volt receptacles do not accept 120 Volt plugs. Second, IF someone changed the plug on the compressor, then plugged it in using both legs of the 240 Volt circuit, the compressor motor would self destruct instantly; internal wiring would burn and you would smell the burning insulation.
Is a map of a circuit a volt?
A map of a circuit is not a volt. A map of a circuit is referred to as a schematics chart. The schematics chart details the path of the circuit, from beginning to end.
Is 24 voltage a lot?
It depends on the use it is being put to. It is sufficient for a 24 volt circuit. Too much for a 12 volt circuit and too little for a 240 volt circuit.
Can you use a 6 volt relay to 230 volt circuit?
If you are talking about a 6 volt coil, yes, so long as the contacts are rated for the 230 volt circuit. If you are talking about 6 volt contacts, no, absolutely not.
Are Ground fault circuit interrupter GFCI devices available for use on 240 volt 480 volt and 600 volt circuits?
Yes, in the form of GFCI circuit breakers, not as a receptacle.
Can you wire a 120 volt ballast to a 347 volt circuit?
No, not a good idea. You have to use a 347 volt ballast.
How do you install 12 volt lights on 48 volt cart?
If your cart has 4, 12 volt batteries in series to make up the 48 volts, just connect the 12 volt lights across one of the batteries.
If your head lights do not work but you have checked all of the fuses what else could it be?
headlight have a circuit breaker insted of fuses for safety purposes take a volt meter and see if u have power to the lights if not trace wires back until u do
