120 volts
Yes, you can use a 220-volt circuit in the basement to run branch circuits for 110-volt lighting. You would need to install a step-down transformer near the lighting circuits to reduce the voltage from 220 to 110 volts. Make sure to adhere to electrical codes and regulations when setting up the system to ensure safety and proper functioning.
No, 240 volt appliances from New Zealand cannot run on 240 volts in the US. The electrical systems in these countries are different. Appliances intended for use in New Zealand are designed to operate on 230-240 volts at 50 hertz, while in the US, the standard voltage is 120 volts at 60 hertz. Using a 240-volt appliance from New Zealand in the US without a voltage converter or transformer could damage the appliance or pose a safety hazard.
Definitely not !! it would be dangerous to use 120 volt equipment on a 230 volt supply, it would either blow the fuse or blow up . . You need a transformer to convert 230 volts to 120 volts, and you need one of the right rating. For a washing machine that might be quite a big transformer. We have 110 volt transformers for power tools but they are not big enough.
Depends. Some smaller stuff can usually run on both, in which case it will be printed on them. If it isn't, you can't run a 220v item on 110v.
Most 36 volt golf carts are designed to run on a specific number of batteries, usually six 6-volt batteries or three 12-volt batteries. Running a 36 volt system on fewer batteries, such as 5, may result in insufficient power and could potentially damage the cart's electrical system. It's recommended to use the correct number and type of batteries as specified by the manufacturer for optimal performance and safety.
Yes. Circuits in a home are 120 volts but people tend to call them 110 volt circuits. The 120 volts you read on the appliance is the maximum voltage the appliance can handle. The actual voltage you will read at any outlet will range from 110 to 120 volts.
Yes, 120 and 240 volts can be run in the same conduit.
Yes, that is exactly right for Australia.

If you are asking, can three separate 240 volt circuits be run off of one 50 amp breaker then the answer is no. Not without knowing what the loading of the three circuits are and whether all three circuits could be on at the same time.
The main difference between 240-volt and 120-volt electrical systems is the amount of voltage they provide. 240-volt systems deliver more power than 120-volt systems, allowing appliances to run more efficiently. However, higher voltage also poses a greater safety risk if not handled properly. Appliances designed for 240 volts may not work on a 120-volt system and vice versa, which can impact their efficiency and safety.
there should be a sticker somewhere on your appliances, usually on the back or the bottom, showing the volt and wattage requirement of that appliance. just add up the appliance requirement on each appliance that you need to run without going over what your generator is rated in output. any appliance repair technician should be able to help you with this.
The appliance should be marked with the correct voltage range, and the voltage applied must lie within this range. Otherwise it might be dangerous.
The size of the breakers depends on the voltage. According to the NFPA electrical standard (USA), if the two heaters you describe are "120 volt plug-in" then they are not allowed on the same circuit. Two circuits are needed. The largest general use circuit allowed for 120 volt receptacles is 20 amps and this will not handle your two appliances. An exception may exist if they are hard wired to a dedicated circuit, or if they are 240 volt.

220 volts. In the US.
huh? Are you looking for a 12v DC power source to run circuits? One that plugs into a standard 110vAC outlet and steps down to 12vDC? If so simply search for "12v DC Power Supply" Are you looking for a power inverter so that you can run 110vAC appliances in your vehicle via a cigarette lighter? If so, simply search for "Power Inverter" To be fair, you did not ask a question.
