Can you use a 220 breaker in place of 110 breaker on 110 service?
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.Breakers are rated in amperage and by the amount of poles that they have. Your classification of a 220 breaker is described in electrical terminology as a two pole breaker.Choosing the amperage of the two pole breaker depends upon the 220 volt load that it feeds.Two pole breakers for 220 volt loads.Single pole breakers for 120 volt loads.If the service is only 120 volt then every other bus bar in the panel will be energized. If the panel is a 120/240, then every bus bar in the panel will be energized.This is how and why a 240 volt load requires a two pole breaker.To the answer, yes you an use a two pole breaker in a 120 volt service but only one side of the breaker will have voltage on it depending on where it is situated in the panel board.
Will a 220 volt ballast operate from a 230 volt source?
Yes, 220 volts is in the same voltage classification as 230 volts.
In a 440 volt and 220 volt or 100 volt feeder panel what do you call a component that monitor the wiring condition of the feeder?
Grounding monitor
How do you convert a German 220 volt chandelier to USA 110 volt?
If you want mood lighting just connect it as is, the brightness of the bulbs will be half. If you want full brightness change the bulbs to 120 volt with bulbs of the same wattage as the 220 volt bulbs.
Can you rewire a mixer 120 volt motor to run a 220 volts?
No, you will need a commercial mixer for that.
What happens when 220 volt equipment is plugged into a 110 volt source or if 110 120 volt equipment is plugged into a 60 volt source assuming all alternating current?
temporary it blows or KABOOOMM....
How will a 3 phase panel give you 110 volts and 220 volts?
A three phase panel will not give you 110 and 220 volts. A three phase four wire panel will, but not at these voltages. The nearest voltages will be 120 and 208 volts. The 120 volt is the wye voltage of 208 volts. 208/1.73 = 120 volts. A single phase three wire panel will give you 110 and 220 volts.

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 use 220 volt light bulb on 120 volt system - I know the reverse would probably blow the bulb so wouldn't European 220 Volt do ok in 120 volt socket or would it be dimmer than it normally would?
Yes a 220 volt light bulb will run on a 120 volt circuit but at 1/4 of the wattage that the light bulb is rated at. A 100 watt light bulb on 220 would would be equal to a 25 watt light bult on 120 volt system.
Can you use a 120 volt - 500 watt bulb in a 220 volt lamp?
no , it will burn out
How can you determine if you have 110 or 220 volts?
Most residential service in USA has both. In the USA 110 to 120 volts is a given and it would be very unusual not to have 220 to 240 volts. It can be easily tested at main panel with a volt meter. Or as an alternative call your power company.
What remedy can you do if you plugged the 120 volt to 220 volt battery charger?
There is no remedy but to plug it into a 230 circut.
Will a 220 volt ballast operate from a 230 volt source?
Yes, 220 volts is in the same voltage classification as 230 volts.
Is there an adapter that will make a 110 volt refrigerator receptacle into a 220 volt?
No. You need to rewire the circuit from the electric panel.
Can you replace 240 volt service with two 110 volt service?
Generally, yes. Most US home services are 220 volt (240, 220 are `nominal' names) which are split into two 120 volt legs. You can find wiring information ont he internet, but generally, the 220 volt systems have a 120 volt leg, a common ground and then another 120 volt leg. Added together, they're 220 volt but by splitting them, you'll end up with two 120 volt legs. If you're not sure about how to wire them up, contact a qualified electrician to help you. House wiring can be very dangerous if you don't know what you're doing as well as lethal. When in doubt, don't.
How do you convert a 110 volt chandelier to 220 volt?
you don't. you just take and use 120 volts from the 220. At least that's what I'd do.
