yes you can. but you will have less 220 v circuits.
<<>>
In North America if you only have a two wire supply it is usually 120 volts. To connect a three wire load center to this supply, a jumper wire is connected across the two lugs that would have taken the 240 volt input if you had that supply voltage. This is where your 120 volt supply is connected. The neutral of the 120 volt supply connects to the neutral buss bar. What this connection does is "hot" up both sides of the buss bar so that you will have 120 volts on each breaker outlet. By eliminating the jumper you would only have every other breaker slot energized.

What size copper wire between meter base and load center for 200 amp service?
Number 2 American Wire Gauge
What happens when you connect the line wire from the switch to the load wire from the wall?
This is what the purpose of a switch is. It connects the "hot" wire to the load. When this is done the load becomes energized.
Do you need a neutral wire for a light to work?
The neutral wire is the return wire back to the distribution panel from the load. Without this return wire no load will work.
What color is load wire?
The color of the load wire is kind of orange but it is tiger orange.I think it is gray.
How to compute the size of wire with respect to the distance from circuit breaker to the load side?
Normally wire is sized by the amperage of the load. In this case the wire size is calculated by knowing the length of the run to the load and the amperage of the device to be connected. By knowing the length, the wire size has to be increased to allow for voltage drop over the distance from the supply to the load.

How do you get the WEP code from a 2 wire?
The default WEP key is a 10-digit number below the barcode on the bottom of your 2Wire router.
How do you tell which is the line wire and the load wire?
The line wire will be hot and carrying power when the breaker is on. The load wire will not be hot and will have no voltage on it until it is connected with the line wire.

What wire is always hot the line wire or the load wire?
The Load wire is always hot (black or red wire) and the Line wire is the one that returns to your fusebox (usually white). Answer above is absolutely wrong written by someone who does not know electricity and will get you electrocuted. The white wire is your neutral wire. The black or red coming from the electrical panel is the line wire. the black or red wire going to the next outlet or light fixture is your load wire. in some cases a white wire will be a line or load and should be indicated with black tape on it denoting it is not a neutral. quick recap is Line = power in, load = power out.
When a larger load is controlled by a small wire what device is used?

What wire size for world's simplest motor?
Wire size is based on the amperage of the load. Without knowing what the motors's full load amperage is, an answer can not be given.
Where to put split ac in a room?
I am not certain of what you are asking but here goes... Commercial service is carried to a home over three wires. The center wire is connected to earth ground. There is 120 volts AC from the center wire to one outside wire, 120 volts AC from the center wire and the other outside wire and 240 volts AC from one outside wire to the other one. All ordinary wall outlets and light fixtures operate off 120 volts. The object of home wiring is to connect one half of the anticipated 120 volt load to one of the outside wires (and the center ground wire) and the other half of the anticipated load to the other outside wire (and ground) In every case the white wire goes to ground. Appliances such as electric stoves, electric clothes dryers and some air conditioners operate off 240 volts. Such appliances are connected to the two outside wires (and ground) via special three-prong outlets.
What is black wire use for?
In household wiring it is the "hot" wire that carries current to the load.
