Can I use 10 gauge wire with a 30 amp dryer?
Typically yes if you use a 30 amp breaker and the dryer uses 230-240 volts.
If your house is wired for 240 volts do you have to have your house rewired for 230 volts?
No. 240 Volts was the nominal standard in Australia with a tolerance of +/- 10%, So the voltage could be anywhere between 216 Volts and 264 Volts. The change to 230 volts is part of international harmonisation between countries that use 220 volt standards and 240 volt Standards. The new tolerance levels are +10% and - 6%.
Can you run a 60 watt light bulb on a 300 volt wire?
If your light bulb voltage rating is under 300 volts then yes it can use 300 volt wire. The voltage rating of the wire is the maximum voltage that the wire can safely carry. The three common insulation groups is 300 volts, 600 volts and 1000 volts.
Does a house plug have 115 volts or 240?
It depends which country you are in. Some countries use 115 Volts AC for household supplies, some use 220, 230 or 240 Volts AC. See the link below for a list of which countries use which voltage.
Can I run a 230 volt 20 amp table saw on 10 3 with a 250 foot run?
Yes you can. If you don't need 120 volts at the saw then you can use 2Conductor # 10 copper wire. FYI, don't know if you know it, but you don't count the bare ground wire in the conductor count. Anyways With # 10 wire you will get a 6 volt drop at the end of 250 feet which is 2.5% leaving you a working voltage of 234 volts.

Can i use an American Apple TV in Australia?
No. Australia's electricity supply is 230 volts at 50Hz... america's is 120 volts at 60Hz.
How the use of the neutral wire provides three different sources of electrical energy?
It is the ground return for the two different phases of your AC supply line providing 115 volts between it and the red or black breaker supply lines in your breaker box. For 230 volts the common is not connected and the red and back lines supply 230 vacfrom breakers
Why 440 volts running capacitor if my ac is 230 volts?
The 440 volts listed on the cap is the maximum allowable voltage the capacitor can handle. You could actually use a 370 volt cap on 230 volts. ANSWER; 230 volts AC can it actually be 644 volts peak to peak . It is 44ov because it must be rectified and sees only 324 volt peak which is withing the 440 volt capacitor handling voltage
What are standard voltage values?
If you are referring to domestic electrical outlets, most regions use either 110 - 120 volts or 230 - 240 volts.
Is there a 440 voltage rating?
There was a 440 Volt Rating. Voltage ratings of the past gave way to higher levels to allow larger power dissipation from the same wire size. In home use 110 Volts gave way to 115 Volts and that gave way to the 120 Volts of current use. Higher voltages also increased in turn as 110V associated with 220 and 440 Volts, became 115V associated with 230 and 460 Volts, and today we have 120V associated with 240 and 480 Volts.

Can I connect a Dutch ceiling light to my UK electrics?
The Netherlands uses 220 volts at 50hz and the UK uses 230 volts at 50 hz. So as long as you use a 230 volt light bulb in your UK home the fixture will work perfectly. It can handle the extra 10 volts.
What size copper wire should you use for 240 volts 200 amps?
3/0 wire 3/0 wire
