Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz power supply service. This is not a recommended practice. The reason 230 volt loads are on dedicated circuits is because of their load amperage. If two high amperage loads were to come on at the same time then the breaker would trip. If the total load was taken into consideration then the wire size would have to be rated for the total amperage and then the breaker would have to be sized to protect the wire. Most home 230 volt appliance loads consist of range 40 amps, dryer 30 amps, hot water tank 20 amps. There are non appliance loads on 230 volt in which more than one are connected which include space heating baseboard heaters.

∙ 14y agoAnswer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz power supply service. Yes you can if it is a split receptacle. These installations can be found in kitchen counter receptacles. These types of receptacles are fed with a #14 three wire from a two pole 15 amp breaker. The top part of the duplex receptacle is isolated from the bottom half of the duplex receptacle by removing the brass coloured tie bar that joins the two halves together. The top part of the receptacle is fed with a full 15 amp capacity by using the black and white wires of the three wire cable and the bottom half is fed with a full 15 amp capacity by using the red and the same white wire of the three wire cable. This allows two appliances to be plugged in to the same receptacle

Can you terminate a 110 circuit and a 220 circuit in one box?
No, do not put terminate 2 different voltages in one box.
Can one leg of a 240 volt circuit be capped and the circuit breaker changed to make an existing 240 volt outlet into a 120 volt outlet?
Yes, you can always have heavier wire than code requires.
Will GFCI work properly if 240 volt split into one 3 wire 120 volt circuit?
yes
How many receptacle can you put on a run?
In Canada there shall be not more that 12 outlets on any 2 wire branch circuit. Such outlets shall be considered to be rated at not more that 1 amp per outlet. Where the connected load is known, the number of outlets may exceed 12 providing the load current does not exceed 80 % of the rating of the over current device protecting the circuit.
Can you use an adapter to use a 120 volt appliance in a 240 volt outlet as there are some at the hardware store for 30?
If it is a 120/240V receptacle (such as for a dryer), then yes, there are two 120 volt leads and a neutral in the 240 circuit, the adapter is just using one 120 volt lead and the neutral to convert it to a 120 volt circuit.If the circuit is just 240V, then there is no neutral.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.
Can you supply three 220 -240 volt 16.6 amp infrared heaters with one circuit?
Can you supply three 220 -240 volt 16.6 amp infrared heaters with one circuit?
What happens when two wires are connected?
Wiring to the circuit breakers is 220 volts. The circuit breaker box has 2 110 Volt lines. If you connect two black lines together from one side nothing happens. If the these two black wires are from different circuit breakers you may have a safety issue by back feeding the electricity. If you connect 2 different 110 volt lines you will end up with a short. This ends up as a 220 volt short.
How connect a transformer 380 volt 3 pH to 220 volt mono pH?
any one of the three line to neutral is 220 volts
Does a 220 volt ac contact get a positive and a negative?
A 220 vac circuit has 2 hot wires and a neutral. The neutral stays at 0 volts and the hot wires vary between positive and negative. When one is positive, the other is negative.
Can a 220 volt side lamp be used on 120 volt?
Yes. But not the other way. 120 volt one, cannot withstand 220volt.
How do you get a 220 volt single phase from 380 volt 3phase synchrounos generator?
220 volt single phase from 480 volt 3 phase that one wire taken one phase and second wire connected in earth point. we get 220 v The above answer is incorrect, one phase from a three phase 480 volt system will give you 277 volts to ground. You must use a transformer to get the voltage you need.
17.60amperes what is the equivalent in horsepower?
That will depend on the voltage together with the amperage. Multiply voltage times amperage to get the watts. There are about 746 watts to one horsepower. A 220 volt circuit at 17.60 amps would be about 5.2 horsepower.
Can you terminate a 110 circuit and a 220 circuit in one box?
No, do not put terminate 2 different voltages in one box.
Can one leg of a 240 volt circuit be capped and the circuit breaker changed to make an existing 240 volt outlet into a 120 volt outlet?
Yes, you can always have heavier wire than code requires.
Will GFCI work properly if 240 volt split into one 3 wire 120 volt circuit?
yes
What is meant by 220 volts AC?
In US household electrical service there are two "hot" 110 volt wires and one ground. Only one hot wire is connected to a normal outlet or light fixture. To wire a 220 volt alternating current outlet, both hot wires are connected to the outlet. This is used for appliances that need more power than is provided by 110 volts like electric ranges, clothes dryers, air conditioners.
How many receptacle can you put on a run?
In Canada there shall be not more that 12 outlets on any 2 wire branch circuit. Such outlets shall be considered to be rated at not more that 1 amp per outlet. Where the connected load is known, the number of outlets may exceed 12 providing the load current does not exceed 80 % of the rating of the over current device protecting the circuit.
