You need a step-up transformer, to go from 110 to 220-240 volts. Then a 110 volt supply can operate 240 volt equipment.

You need a dedicated circuit for that. You cannot power a 220V device off 110V.

Can you plug a American laptop into England?

Check your laptops power adapter to see if it will handle both 240v(UK) and 110v(US) if it can handle 240v (which I believe most can) then all you need is a UK plug adapter.


How do you convert 110 circuit to 220 circuit?

You'll need to contact an electrician to modify the circuitry of your home.For some low power devices, you can purchase a transformer that will convert to 240V, but if you're using higher current you'll need to run a 240V circuit back to the breaker panel.Always seek the assistance of a qualified electrician for these types of modifications.


240v box outside for a hot tub you need a 110v receptacle Can you wire it off the 240v box?

Using a box that is hire voltage than what you need can cause a short, and even a fire. So using a 240V box, when all you need is a 110v receptacle, wouldn't be a good idea.


Can you replace the 240v plug on my 240v mitre saw with a 110v plug and run it off a 110v transformer?

Changing the plug will not change the power needed to run the saw. If the saw has a dual voltage motor then a wiring change can be done to switch the saw from 240 to 110 volts. If it is not a dual voltage system then the saw must be fed with 220 volts.

Is there any way to connect four 1500-watt heaters to 120V if they are currently connected to 240V and being used as a makeshift hobby oven?

No. If the heaters are designed for 220V they cannot fun off of 110V. Also running a 1500W heater off of 110V would require a dedicated circuit. So four 1500W heaters would require 4 dedicated 110V circuits.
