Is there adapters for 250 volt to 120 volts?
No. There are no "adaptors". To get 240V from a 120v supply you use a 120-240V step up transformer. <><><> Clothes dryers, water heaters and and other high-power 240 volt appliances cannot be run on a transformer from a 120 volt circuit. They must be powered from a separate branch circuit that has the right size breakers, cable and socket outlet to suit the appliance.
Can you use a 120 volt bulb in a 130 volt socket?
Can you use a 120 volt bulb in a 130 volt socket?
How can you use a 120 volt dryer on 100 volt plug?
In the US, Canada and other countries running a similar 60 Hz power supply service, household lighting and low-power appliances run at 120 volts plus or minus 10%. So the actual voltage supplied can change betwen 108 volts and 132 volts and would still be within proper limits. (To get the actual figures for your locality it is best to ask a local licensed electrician or your local electricity supply company.) But please note the above answer is for low-power appliances only, not clothes dryers. Dryers have to draw a much higher current or amperage than your normal 120 volt socket outlets can supply. For more information on installing a new breaker, circuit wiring and the correct socket outlet to suit a 120 volt dryer, please see the answers to the Related questionsshown below.
What DMV voltage range do you use to measure house current voltage 110V or 120V?
You must set the range so that the maximum value is greater than the conventional voltage levels in your house. Like, in the United States, the common voltage level is 120 volts RMS, although many homes are equipped with 240-volt service, to accommodate certain appliances, like clothes dryers. (The 240-volt service is really two 120-volt legs.) It's a good idea to set the range higher than expected initially.
How do you convert a 125 volt to a 120 volt receptacle?
You tell yourself the 125 volt receptacle is a 120 volt receptacle. They're the same thing.
How do you know whether to get 120 volt or 130 volt light bulb?
If you want your bulbs to last longer then use 130 volt bulb on a 120 volt system. The light emitted by a 130 volt bulb, when comparing it to a 120 volt bulb, will be a bit dimmer.
How do you check the 120 volt plug on 1994 diesel club wagon?
Use a volt meter Plug a 120 volt accessory into it
Can a 220 volt side lamp be used on 120 volt?
Yes. But not the other way. 120 volt one, cannot withstand 220volt.
Can you change a dryer from 120 volts to 240 volts It came wired as 120 volts but we do have an outlet for 240 volts Was hoping to speed up dry times and save some?
If the dryer is a clothes dryer then the short answer no. If it is a hair dryer then there might be a voltage switch on the handle that allows you to change voltages. If the manufacturer of the clothes dryer specified that it can be operated on dual voltages then it is just a matter of changing a few terminal connections. Check the instruction manual to see what it states there. This is very unlikely though. In North America all clothes dryers need 120/240 volts to operate. The 120 volts is used for the timer relays and for the drum motor, the 240 volts for the heating elements in the dryer. By changing to a higher voltage, it will not speed up the speed up the drying time. It is more likely that if you plug the dryer into the 240 volt receptacle it will burn the 120 volt motor out.
Can 120 volt work on 230 volt?
No totally different
Can you use a 125 volt bulb in a 120 volt lamp?
Yes, the voltage listed on the bulb is the nominal voltage and it will work perfectly on a 120 volt circuit.
Will 120 volt equipment work on a 110 volt transformer?
Yes.
