Depends on how it was made at the factory. Some are 120 only some are 120/240. The model tag will have the voltage rating on it

How do you convert 120 volts electric fan to 240 volt?
put double power batteries in
What can you power with a 3000 watt generator?
A few small things. Watts = Amps x Volts. Amps = 800/120 = 6.66 amps. Check the amperage on what you want to plug into the generator. If it is over 6 amps the generator will not handle the load.
If building is serviced with 480 volts and you put a meter between ground and hot what will be the reading?
For alternating current, and assuming the supply transformer is properly grounded, you will have 240 volts to ground. 480 volts; single phase will have Line1 and Line2, both with 240 to ground and 480 across both Lines : three phase will have Line1, Line2, and Line3, all will have 240 to ground, and 480 across any two Lines. Same is true for 240 volt service, 120 to ground and 240 across. 120 volt service is 240 volt service using ground as neutral.
Can you put a 120 v receptacle on a 240 v circuit breaker?
No, the electrical insulation rating of a 15 amp duplex receptacle is only rated at 130 volts. The 15 amp 240 volt receptacle is rated at 250 volts. The 240 volt receptacle also has a tandem pin configuration instead of the parallel configuration of the 120 volt device. The different pin configuration is so that a 120 volt electrical device can not be plugged into a 240 voltage receptacle.
What does volts mean on a light bulb?
Electricity in your house or anywhere else comes in volts. When you screw in a light bulb, you screw it in to an electrical socket that has a certain number of volts. The socket can have 3 volts like a flash light, 12 volts like a car, 120 volts like American houses, or 240 volts like some Latin American houses. The light bulb is designed to work with one of those voltages. If you put a 240 volt bulb in a 120 volt socket, it will glow extremely dim. If you put a 120 volt light bulb in a 240 volt socket, it will glow extremely bright, but it will burn out in a short period of time. So you should put a 120 volt bulb in a 120 volt socket. In the United States, you will not have that trouble. However, if you take your yacht to a foreign country, you might put your light bulb in the wrong socket.Another AnswerA lamp will only operate at its rated power when subject to its rated voltage. So, if you want your lamp to operate at its rated power, you must connect it to a supply which provides its rated voltage
What amperage does a 1000 watt generator put out?
If running at 120 volts that is 8.33 ampsIf running at 120 volts that is 8.33 amps
How do you convert 120 volts electric fan to 240 volt?

How much voltage does a 12 volt generator put out on a car?
If you are asking what the normal ouptput voltage of a car's alternator/generator is, it is 13.5-14.5 volts.
Where can you get a 110 volts out put portable generator 4 KV in Qatar KSA or UAE?
in the bunnings warehouse in n.s.w

Why would a generator put out 240 volt single phase?
For a home generator, to supply voltage for devices that require 220 V or 240 V. An electric oven or clothes dryer are examples of such devices. The generator at the power plant actually generates electricity at a much higher voltage, for easier transmission (and those are 3-phase generators). Also most homes run on 240 single phase. Power is split at the breaker box. To supply 120 loads and 240 loads. 240 single phase is a common voltage.

How do you full field a ford tractor generator?
while the engine is running , put your + lead from your voltmeter on the armature lug( the big lead). take off your field wire from the generator (don't add power to the lead from the regulator or you will fry the regulator) add a power source to the field lug of the generator. the generator should start climbing, if you get 14.5 volts , the generator is good

What needs to be done when you put fiberglass batting around high voltage wires?
What are you considering "high voltage" wiring? If you mean just standard home wiring of 120 and 240 volts then you can put the insulation right up to it.
How do the two 120 volt lines from the power grid become 240 volts when joined together?
Canada and US - Visualize it the other way around. The transformer that feeds your house has a primary of 7200 volts. The secondary voltage is 240 volts. This secondary voltage is a split voltage. There are 3 bushings coming out of the transformer on the secondary side. The two outside bushings have the 240 volts on them. The position of the center bushing splits the 240 in to two 120 volts. This center tap is then grounded and becomes the neutral of your house wiring service. L1 to N = 120 volts, N to L2 = 120 volts, and L1 to L2 = 240 volts.
