240V is much more effecient, and you can put more heaters on a 20 amp circuit than you can a 120V.
how does a electric stove work???????????? how does a electric stove work????????????
In the US, both 120v and 240v will be needed for your home, as different appliances need different voltages. Your TV needs 120V, while your electric dryer and stove will need a 120V/240V supply. If you have an electric water heater, or central AC unit, they will need a 240V supply.
240v is the standard for household use.
No, unless it's a gas range. An electric range requires 240V and 40A while a small appliance will be 120V and Max 15A.
Yes it can. But leave this work to a qualified electrician. The consequences of doing this improperly range from failure of the cooktop to work, to damage to the cooktop, to an electrical fire, to injury or death due to electrocution. The hazards cannot be stated strongly enough.
the one ten outlet doesn't work on my stove
Off hand no but your explanations are not clear as to who is doing what to whom,,
3 prong the 2 black wires are your hot and the braided is your neutral.
yes.
Yes, electronic products need to work over a range of voltages as the mains is not maintained at exactly 240V or 230V. Typically they have a range of at least 10% and normally much more. So it should work down to at least 216V.
Most appliciances that are built for use with 220V would normally be fine with 240V. In most cases, they are also labeled 220-240V. Depending on how critical the application is, you should probably check with the manufacturer.
