Probably not. The manufacturer has designed this as a three-phase to cut down on the total wattage required to run this kiln. Through the magic of 3-phase the power draw is 57% of what it would be for a single-phase kiln.

There is an item out there called a "phase converter" that lets you run a three phase item off single phase service. I've looked at these before, and they're expensive, noisy and inefficient. You're better off just buying a different kiln.

Your main concern here is the amperage of the kiln. Most bigger kilns use 240 volts. Check the nameplate, wattage size of the elements and then re-ask the question and give all the data from the name plate of the kiln.

Does vac stand for volt amp current or volt alternating current?

It stands for volts alternating current.


What happens to the current in a circuit if a 1.5 volt battery is removed and is replaced by a 9 volt battery?

Current will go up by a factor of 6 times in that scenario.


Can 115 volt appliance be plugged into Canadian household outlet?

Yes. All Canadian regular household outlets work at 110-120 Volts.


How long does current remain in a 220 volt circuit?

The current will remain in a 220 volt circuit as long as the circuit load remains in the circuit and the circuit remains closed.


How do you reduce volt drops in cables?

You can draw less current, half the current gives half the amount of volt drop. Or use a thicker cable because doubling the cross-section area would also give half the volt drop.

Can you run a 120 volt ceramic oven on 110 volt?

It won't get to temperature very well, but you probably can use it. It is called a kiln in the English language not ceramic oven.


What household current do you need to power 460 volt motor?

There is no household current with which you can power a 460 volt motor.Normal US household power is 120/240VAC split phase. (Other countries have different configurations, but the answer remains the same.) Without a transformer, and a substantial power flow, you are not going to develop the voltage necessary to run a 460 volt motor. Even if you could generate that voltage, you still only have one phase available, and most 460 volt motors require three phase power.You could do this with an inverter, or a motor-generator set, but to be blunt, you are asking about a commercial application, not a household application.


Who manufactured 120 Volt Nova Ceramic Kilns?

Thermolyne Corporation


How can a 12 volt battery inverter give power to a house?

An inverter converts direct current into alternating current. An inexpensive 12 volt inverter is often used to convert 12 volt direct current from a battery to 120 volt alternating current to power small household appliances during a power failure. More expensive inverter systems with large batteries are also available for use with solar panels, wind generators, or other non-commercial power sources.


How do you use electric appliances in Israel?

You plug the appliance into the outlet. Israel uses 220-volt household current. Any 110-volt appliances brought from abroad will need a small transformer, which can be bought in appliance stores.

What voltage is used by a car cigarette lighter?

A car cigarette lighter uses 12 volts direct current. Car electrical systems use 12 volts direct current verses the 120 volt alternating current use in most household situations.


The unit to measure current is the volt?

The unit of current is the ampere. The unit of potential difference, or electromagnetic force is the volt.


A 480-volt circuit has an impedace of 60 ohms what is the current?

480 volts and 60ohm impedence current = volt/impedence current=480/60 current=8ampeares


How much current flows in a 12 watt radio connected to 120 volt circuit?

A 120V household electrical outlet supplies 12 watts of powerwhen the current is 0.1 Ampere (and the power factor is 100%).


Can you plug 230 volt 60 Hz 4.8 A pump into a household receptical with a GFI breaker?
