All three, on 110V a split receptacle, on 220V a baseboard heater, on 440V a construction heater or similar resistive load.

Can you run a 110v heater on 220v circuit?
No.It'll overload and fail just about immediately.It's possible - but not recommended - to run two 110 v heaters in series from a 220v circuit.
You ran power from your house to your shop about a year ago The problem you are having is one of the bus legs in your shop panel box is not hot so every other 20 amp breaker is not hot on that leg?
Sounds as though you only ran a 110 volt power supply to your new shop subpanel. You need to supply 220V with a neutral and ground from your main panel to your subpanel. The 220 supply needs to come from a two pole 220V circuit breaker in your main panel. (example 50 or 100 Amp) Then, most importantly, you must use the correct size wire to carry the current. That is the wire must be sized correctly to the 220V breaker. The neutral must also be the same size as the conductors. Once you determine how much power you need in your shop, size the supply 220v circuit breaker and wire accordingly. Check with your local building department if you are unsure or what size wire to use with what size breaker or refer to Table 310-16 in the National Electric Code. In Australia domestic power is 240v So you have run single phase power to a three phase switchboard. To get power to those breakers you must hook the active to the busbar connected to those circuit breakers.
How do you rewire a 110v RV generator ONAN to produce 220v for backup power for your house?
yes you can use. but you need to install 110v to 220 volt step up transformer . It depends on the generator. Some are 120 only. Need full model and serial number to help you.
Can a 220V x 40W bulb bought in India used in America where supply standard is 110V x 60Hz and does the power consumed varies?
If you can use it in your lamp it will be a 20 watt bulb
Is a 60 amp breaker correct for a 10 kw 220 heat strip?
10 kW at 220v will use 45.45 Amps. I'd recommend a 60A circuit, with a 60A breaker, but the heater or electric furnace should have "maximum fuse amps" rated on its nameplate. Above all, neverconnect wiring to a breaker that is rated higher than the maximum current capacity of the wire. In the case of 60A, use #6 AWG wire.The HVAC Veteran
How do I get 220 volt circuit?
If you need a 220v circuit at only 15 or 20 amps: Get a new breaker to replace your 110v single pole breaker with a 220v double pole breaker. (You cannot exceed the original breaker's amperage rating unless you also replace the wire with a larger size). Shut off the panel's main breaker (the wires coming into the main breaker will remain hot, so don't touch them.) Remove the old 110v circuit's neutral (white) from the neutral bus bar in your distribution panel. Remove the old 110v circuit's hot (black) from the old 110v breaker. Remove the old 110v breaker. Install the new 220v breaker in place of the old breaker. (This may require you to rearrange some breakers if the old breaker was in between others) Reconnect the black wire to one terminal of the 220v breaker, and reconnect the white wire to the other terminal. Turn on the main breaker, and your new 220v breaker. Before you do this, be sure where the actual circuit goes. Changing 110v to 220v if the circuit is feeding regular 110v receptacles will cause damage to devices plugged into them. Be sure you remove all 110v devices (receptacles) from the circuit before converting it. If you need a 220v circuit for a dryer or other large appliance, your existing wiring will not be sufficient to do the above. You will need to install a new breaker and wiring. For this task, you should consult a professional electrician.
What happens when both 110v leads are applied to one side of a 220v electric motor?
The breaker will blow because you are effectively causing a short circuit.
How do you wire a 110v supply for 220v heaters?
A 220v heater has two 110v lines coming into it--either two 110v lines with a neutral, like a range, or two 110v lines with no neutral, like a water heater. Unless there's a fan in the system, they only use two wires. It's cheaper that way. If you have a DEDICATED circuit for each 220v heater--one where there's only one thing on the breaker--and you have at least 10/2 wire (unless the amps call for 8/2 or 6/2 wiring, which happens), you can install a two-pole breaker to feed 220v to the heater. If you're just trying to plug the heater into an outlet and get it to work, you've got a problem in that you can't pull 220v out of a 110v outlet no matter how hard you try. Sorry.
Did you burn up your motor if you plugged in 220V to a 110V?
Yes, although you might have lucked out and tripped the breaker first.
How do you tap into a 220v feed going to baseboard heater and get a 110v supply?
This is only valid in parts of the work using 110/220 Volt split phase power system. There will be 110V from each of the hot leads to ground/neutral, so connect your outlet to only one of the hot leads, the neutral lead and the earth ground lead. This may be a problem with a dedicated 220V circuit as there will likely be no neutral line. Another note - this could well cause an unbalanced electrical load across the two pole breaker. If the breaker has a rating of 20A and the 110V circuit draws much of that current, the heater will likely trip the breaker.
What is the voltage from the hydro pole to the house?
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz power supply service. 220V in US, supplied as two separate 110V feeds. Your circuit breaker panel supplies both to large 220 V appliances (stove, A/C) and 1 leg=110V to regular circuits.
Which is more powerful 110v or 220v?
"Power" is not expressed in volts, but rather in watts (Volts times Amperes), for instance. So you cannot say whether 110v or 220v is more Power-ful unless you also know how much current (Amperes) is flowing in the electrical circuit.
How is 220v water heater rewired to 110v?
Use a transformer to lower from 220 to 110V.
Can 110V circuit with 2 wire size of 10 and a ground be converted to 220V after changing the outlet and breaker?
It depends on the amount of current (Amps) your breaker is rated for. If you boost your voltage the current will go down proportionally. 10 guage wire has an allowable ampacity of 30A. so if you are not drawing more than 27A you should be ok.
Can you attach an iron machine of 220v in a 110v socket?
No
Plug a 110v hair straightener into a 220v outlet?
Do not do this.
Can you plug your 220V electric piano into a 110V socket?
No.
