Using a 6-volt relay on a 12-volt DC supply is not recommended as it can lead to overheating and damage to the relay due to overvoltage. While some relays may tolerate a slight overvoltage for short periods, consistently applying 12 volts to a 6-volt relay can cause it to fail prematurely. It's best to use a relay rated for the voltage of your supply to ensure proper operation and longevity.

How do you control 110 volt circulator pump with a 24 volt thermostat?
You will need an interpose relay. This relay will have a 24 volt coil. The circuit power for the relay will come from a 120VAC to 24VAC volt transformer. The 24 VAC circuit will have the thermostat in series with the coil of the relay. Thermostat calls for heat, the coil energizes and the relay's contacts close. Your circulator pump is controlled by the relay. On selecting the relay make sure that the contact ratings can handle the full load amps of the circulator. A contact rating of 120 volts at 15 amps will do very nicely.
Would you be able to use US 120 volt lights on UK 230 volt supply?
no
Can you use a 12 volt power supply in 6 volt toy?
Using a 12-volt power supply in a 6-volt toy is not recommended, as it can damage the toy's electronic components due to the higher voltage. Excess voltage can lead to overheating, component failure, or even cause a fire hazard. It's best to use a power supply that matches the toy's specified voltage to ensure safe and proper operation.
Can you use 110 volt printer with 220 volt?
You need a step down voltage transformer that converts 220 volt to 110 volt to use a 110 volt printer with 220 volt. You can get good quality transformers at East West International in Houston, TX. If you order online or over the phone, they can ship it to you in 2-3 business days.
How can you use a 120 volt dryer on 100 volt plug?
In the US, Canada and other countries running a similar 60 Hz power supply service, household lighting and low-power appliances run at 120 volts plus or minus 10%. So the actual voltage supplied can change betwen 108 volts and 132 volts and would still be within proper limits. (To get the actual figures for your locality it is best to ask a local licensed electrician or your local electricity supply company.) But please note the above answer is for low-power appliances only, not clothes dryers. Dryers have to draw a much higher current or amperage than your normal 120 volt socket outlets can supply. For more information on installing a new breaker, circuit wiring and the correct socket outlet to suit a 120 volt dryer, please see the answers to the Related questionsshown below.

What is 4160 Volt electrical wire insulation rated for?
You can use an insulation rating 5000 volt to run 4160 volt supply.
Can you use a 10 volt power supply for a 9 volt keyboard?
Using a 10 volt power supply for a 9 volt keyboard is not a good idea. The higher voltage will cause damage to the keyboard, burning it out and making it useless.
Can you use a 6 volt relay to 230 volt circuit?
If you are talking about a 6 volt coil, yes, so long as the contacts are rated for the 230 volt circuit. If you are talking about 6 volt contacts, no, absolutely not.
Can you use a 100 volt Japanese appliance in 220 volt country such as Hong Kong with 110 volt converter?
yes
You have 240v and you need to convert to 230v for an air compressor?
Yes, you can use a 230 volt device on a 240 volt supply.
What does 100 to 240 V mean for use in the UK?
If "100 to 240 V" is stated on the rating plate of a small electrical appliance, such as an electric razor or a plug-in power supply for something else, that means it is designed to operate on any voltage between 100 Volts and 240 volts. * So the appliance will work if it is plugged into a 120 Volt household AC power supply in the US, Canada or elsewhere in the world which uses a similar supply and * it will also work on a 230 Volt household AC power supply in the UK or any other country in Europe or elsewhere in the world which uses a similar supply.
Can you run 220 volt motor compressor a 380 volt supply using power inverter?
No 380 volts is too wide a spread to use a 220 volt motor on.
Can you use a 12 volt power supply in 6 volt toy?
