How can you get 110 volts out of a 220 volt circuit?

Depending on what you're trying to charge, if it doesn't require too much power, you might want to look into a 220 to 110 volt `stepdown' transformer. What? I want to raise the voltage, not lower it! Ok, so use the transformer in reverse. All of a sudden, 110 volts in, will give you 220 volts out. Just make sure the transformer has enough current carrying capacity to handle the load. An electrical supply outlet should be able to help you get what you need.

What size amp circuit breaker should be used for 110 outlet?

Can you use a 110 to 220 voltage converter on a welding machine?

Generally, no. Some welding machines are designed to run on 110 volts and they are able to weld using limited power. However, a welding machine that is design to run on 220 volts requires more power than can safely be provided by a typical 110 outlet (even if a converter is used). Here's why:110 Outlets typically only have #12 (or even #14) gauge wire, which can only support so much power before becoming dangerously hot.110 Outlets also typically tie into a 15 or 20 amp breaker (or fuse) at the panel, and if more amperage is used, the breaker will trip.Most 220 volt welding machines require a 220 volt outlet that is fed with either #8 or #6 gauge wire, and ties into the panel with a 2 pole breaker rated for at least 30 amps.

Can I use 110 volt led light on 220 volts?

Yes. 110 and 220 plugs are different so that you cannot plug a 110 recepticle into a 220 outlet and vice versa. If a home is wired for 220 it means that the potential is there for 220 recepticles. Your oven and clothes dryer require 220.

Does 220 amp service use more power than 110 amp?

No, they only use the power drawn from the service. The fact that is is 220 amp or 110 amp makes no difference. It is the load that is applied that determines the amount used.
