Unlikely- European countries run on 240 volts which is about double the US standard.

What happens to appliances when the neutral wire is disconnected?

If the neutral wire is disconnected, appliances may still work due to the complete circuit path provided by the hot wire. However, this can be dangerous as the voltage may not be stable, causing potential damage to appliances and posing a risk of electric shock to users. It is important to have a properly connected neutral wire in an electrical system for safe and efficient operation of appliances.


Was life in medieval Europe hard?

Because they had to work a lot.


How do you connect an overhead light fixture with a blue wire?

Answer for countries in Europe and other world areas running a 50 Hz supply service.A Blue wire is normally the "Neutral" wire on a standard 230 Volt supply.A Brown wire is normally the "Live" wire on a standard 230 Volt supply.A Green/Yellow wire is normally the "Earth" or "Ground" wire.As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.


Do European appliances work in the US?

yes they do! :) Europe uses a different voltage than the US and also has different shaped electrical plugs, so you can't just plug a European appliance into an American electrical outlet. If you can get the right kind of current, then the appliances will still work.


Can European appliances work in the UK?

Yes they can. You just need an adapter to plug them in as the electrical plug sockets are different in the UK than in other parts of Europe.


What has to be done in order for electrical appliances to work?

For electrical appliances to work the wires must be correctly connected and plugged in to the receptacle.


Will your US appliances work in Belize?

Yes


Are Household appliances AC or DC?

kettles generally run on alternating current (AC) as do most household appliances. although the heating element can run on either alternating or direct current (ac or dc) as long as the voltage is the same. for example if you were to plug your kettle into your car battery it wouldn't do very much if anything. however if you were to wire ten car batteries in series ( thus creating 120 volts dc) the kettle would heat up as it normally would.


Do you have to hook up the ground wire to outlet?

Yes, this is the return path to the electrical panel, on a short circuit condition, that trips the breakerA short circuit is when the hot or neutral wire is broken, or touchiing another wire. the ground wire does not trip a breaker.The ground wire is a wire designed to carry current back to the source in the event of a short circuit.All your appliances are wired so that if the outside of the appliance becomes "hot" (electrically charged) the ground wire will take this current back to source to prevent you from being shocked.The breaker will/ should trip but this is because of the hot or neutral circuit being shorted.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energizedIF YOU ARE NOT REALLY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.


How is electricity transferred in different appliances?

through the potential in wire. the potential in wire is the work done by the charge to move from one point to another. so charge means somewhere electron. so charge is flowing through one point to other it means electron is flowing. so the appliance connected through wire gets electricity and work, all about the current which is actualy flow of electron. so thats it

Dealing with Broken Appliances?

The appliances that you have in your home were most likely quite expensive for you to acquire. When one of those appliances breaks down it can be hard to determine if the appliance is repairable or if it will have to be replaced. This is a decision that is best left up to a service technician that is trained and qualified to work on your appliances. In most cases, these people have access to the knowledge and parts, such as washing machine parts, that they need to get the job done properly. They can also tell you if your appliance will need to be replaced.
