It would be better if you got a transformer and stepped up the voltage.

How do you convert a 240v drill to 110v?
One word: KABOOM.
Can you rewire a 240v lamp light fitting or small appliance to 110v and if so how?
Yes, you need a transformer
Why use 110v instead of 240v power tools a building site?
110v is not enough to kill you reducing the chance of fatalities.Rubbish, 110V is more than enough to kill you but the second part is correct, it reduces the chances of fatalities.The 110V supplied to site tools is really dual phase (55V down each conductor) so unless you slice through both conductors simultaneously you should only get a 55V to earth shock - this is below the perceived 70V (fatal) danger threshold, but remember each one of us is different, so while a 70V shock may not kill your friend the same might not apply to you!So in a nutshell, it reduces risk.
240V to a standard outlet?
What is your question? A standard outlet is 110V. A 220 outlet is shaped different so that you know it is 220. You would never run 220 through a 110 outlet.
What happens if you transpose 240V with 110V?
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hertz supply service.Voltage is the pressure that electric current (amps) is pushed by. In any given circuit, wattage (power) is what is used to run an appliance. Wattage is produced by 'pushing' a given amount of current.However, the material in which the current is pushed (wire) can stand only so much pressure. If you use 240V on a 110V line, the wiring will no doubt burn.If you attempt to use house current on a 240V rated appliance, you will "over-amp" the device and damage it.If you transpose 240V with 110V and the load is inductive it will not operate. If the load is resistive then you will only get one quarter of the rated wattage if the voltage is reduced by half.I beg to differ with the statement," If you attempt to use house current on a 240V rated appliance, you will "over-amp" the device and damage it." There are many home appliances that utilize a 240 volt supply. The hot water tank, clothes dryer and cooking range to name a few.
Can 240v coil contactor be connected to 110v supply?
no
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.
How do you convert a 240v drill to 110v?
One word: KABOOM.
Can a 240V - 110V stepdown transformer be reversed to take a primary load of 180V to secondary 240Volts?
No
Can you rewire a 240v lamp light fitting or small appliance to 110v and if so how?
Yes, you need a transformer
Do Indian electrical devices work in US?
No India uses 240V at 50Hz the U.S. uses 110V at 60Hz.
Can 110v tools be used with 240v without using a transformer by switching the plugs?
No. Trying this will likely destroy the tool and may likely cause injury. The plugs are made differently to prevent them from being connected to incorrect power sources.
IS there an adapter for a 240V heater that will allow you to plug it into two 110V outlets?
No. Sounds like a fairly hazardous thing to try as well. If it's to use a heater in the US, then buy a US heater at a lower cost than any adaptor that might do the job for you. If it's to use on a UK building site that has 110V but doesn't have 240V, it breaks all the rules because you end up with 240V where you shouldn't.
Can you run a 240v appliance ie a radio that's plugged into a socket connected to a 110v system on a market stall. h-accessories.co.UK by the way?
NO The radio will actually run at about 6 volts via an internal transformer. If you plug it into a 110v supply you will only produce 3 volts which is the same as trying to run it with flat batteries. The only way is to use a 110v to 240v transformer which will be rather large, cumbersome and heavy.
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.
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.
What voltage standards in Australia for tools?
Australia runs 240v
