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.
How do you tell if a motor is 115V or 230V?
First and foremost you should look at the nameplate. If the nameplate is unreadable then you will do no harm plugging it into a 115 volt supply. If the motor looks like it is running at full speed then it is a 115 volt motor. If you plug it in and it looks like the shaft is turning at about half speed then it is a 230 volt motor. If the motor is running slow don't leave it plugged in for more that 15 seconds. Find a 230 volt supply and plug it in, it should run at the right speed. If you have a shaft tachometer use it on the end of the shaft to get an accurate rotation speed. The above prompted comparison with another motor, with the same RPM rating, allowing a simple feel of the shafts for a close speed match. The help is appreciated.
Can you use 240 volts to 220 volts?
Each voltage has a range and devices rated in that range will all work . The 110 to 120 volts is one range of voltages. The 220 to 240 is another range of voltages. The reason there is a range of voltages is to help the utility company out. They are mandated to keep the voltages within a + or - 5% range of a set voltage. Because there are loads coming on line and loads dropping off line the voltage fluctuates. Using a base voltage of 115 and 230 volts means that the voltage can rise by 115 +5% = 121 volts and drop by 115 - 5% = 109 volts. In the 230 volt range the voltage can rise by 230 + 5% = 241 and drop by 230 - 5% = 219 volts. As you see they are still in the usable voltage ranges.
What plugs do you use in Cyprus?
Exactly the same plugs as in the UK.The actual plug type is known internationally as Type 'G' and is used on 230 Volts AC running at a frequency of 50Hz.
How many watts does 115 volts equal to in a AC unit?
The wattage of an air conditioning unit depends on the current (in amps), as well as the voltage. So various sizes of air conditioners will use different amounts of power (in watts).
I have 230 wall ac unit I want to replace can you buy a 115 voltage unit and use it?
As long as the outlet is right for the 115, you can buy it.

Can you plug an air conditioner which should normally use a 115 plug into a 220 outlet or would it damage something?
Absolutely not. The plugs are incompatible for a reason. The unit will be fried and a fire may result. Find a 115 outlet.
What kind of plug in is used for most window unit air conditioners?
Most air conditioners use a three-pronged (grounded) plug. However, some use outdoor plugs that aren't 115 Volt.
How many voltage does an air handler use?
residential usually 115v or 230v. Commercial could be 115, 208-230 or 460

What type of power does the computer use?
most computers use a standard 240 volt power usage, but 230 volts and 115 are also fairly common. laptop power usage can vary between 15v and 20+v
How do you change No 5 spark plug on a 2000 Grand Marquis 4.6L engine?
Plug #5 is at the left front of the engine. Depress the latch on the bottom of the Coil-on- plug connector and pull the connector off the COP unit. Remoce the screw retaining the COP unit. Pull the COP unit up off the plug. Use a 5/8" plug retaining socket to remove the plug. Installion is the reverse. Torque the plug to 15 lb-ft and the COP retaining screw to 10 in-lbs.

Is it safe to use 230 volts 50 hz appliances where power supply is 230 volts 60 hz?
If the appliance is strictly resistive heating there will be no problem. If the appliance has a motor load connected with it, the unit will operate a bit slower and operate a bit warmer.
