Can you connect a 220 volt stove to a 120 volt circuit?
Yes, this is a safe connection. A range is usually wire rated at 40 amps and the manufactures do not make a 40 amp rated receptacle. The code requires the next highest rated receptacle be used which is a 50 amp rating. This is why the range receptacle is rated at 50 amps. This receptacle is known as a 3 pole 4 wire grounding receptacle, 14-50R 125/250 volt. Black wire to terminal X, red wire to terminal Y, white wire to terminal W and ground wire to terminal G.
Can you use 600 volt fuses in place of 250 volt fuses on a 208 Volt System?
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.If they fit, which I doubt, yes, you can use 600 volt fuses in place of 250 volt fuses so long as the amp rating is correct.YOU CANNOT USE 250 VOLT FUSES IN PLACE OF 600 VOLT FUSES !!!You can use a fuse with a higher volt rating but not a smaller volt rating than the voltage applied to the circuit.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.
A DC voltmeter has a resistance of 20000 ohms per volt What is the resistance of the meter if the range selection switch is set on the 250 volt range?
5 megohms
What gauge wire will transfer 220 volts 250' and serve 15 amps?
A 300 MCM copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 125 amps for 500 feet on a 250 volt system. On a situation like this two transformers might be considered. One to boost the voltage to a higher level. This allows a smaller and less expensive conductor to be used between the two transformers and then drop the voltage down at the load end to feed the load at the recommended value. Price out the cost of the 300MCM conductor and then compare that against the cost of the two transformers and the new smaller wire size. By boosting the voltage to 600 volts between the transformers the wire can be reduced to a 1/0 copper conductor. This will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 125 amps for 500 feet on a 600 volt system.
How many amps does a 3000w inverter 240 v draw from a 12 volt system?
It would be at least 250 amps, maybe 300 amps.
Where do I put the red black white and copper wires on a 50 amp three prong recepticle?
The 50 amp receptical will not be a three prong receptacle it will be a 3-pole 4-wire grounding receptacle. It will be a 125/250 volt rating NEMA number 14–50R. The red and black wires connect to the X and Y terminals, the white wire to the W terminal and the ground wire to the G terminal.
Will 2.0 250 volt replace a 1.6 125 volt?
You need to define what you mean by 2.0 and 1.6.
Can you put a 120 v receptacle on a 240 v circuit breaker?
No, the electrical insulation rating of a 15 amp duplex receptacle is only rated at 130 volts. The 15 amp 240 volt receptacle is rated at 250 volts. The 240 volt receptacle also has a tandem pin configuration instead of the parallel configuration of the 120 volt device. The different pin configuration is so that a 120 volt electrical device can not be plugged into a 240 voltage receptacle.

Can you sub a 250 volt 1.5 amp fuse in place of a 125 volt 3 amp fuse?
Yes, you can substitute a 250 volt fuse in place of a 125 volt fuse. You just can't go the other way around. As far as 1.5 amperes in place of 3 amperes, well, you've got a problem there because the fuse will blow at about 1.5 amperes instead of 3 amperes, so the intended load will not be met. All of this, of course, assumes that the physical size of the fuse is the same. Bottom line is never substitute fuses.
Will switching a 125 volt 6.3 a with a 250 volt 6.3 a mess up your radio?
If the voltage is not right your radio will definitely get messed up.
Is there an adapter for a NEMA 14-30 plug and a NEMA 10-30 receptacle?
A NEMA 14-30 is a 3 pole 4 wire grounding receptacle rated at 30 amps 125/250 volts. A NEMA 10-30 is a 3 pole, 3 wire non grounding receptacle rated at 30 amps 125/250 volt.As the NEMA 10 device has no ground terminal on it, it is not a standard receptacle device so no adapter is made for it.
Can you plug a 250 volt lamp into US outlet?
Yes. If the plug (cap) end of the 250 volt lamp is compatible to the receptacle the lamp would work. The light output of the lamp would not be very bright. Because the working voltage is halved so would the light output.
Half of 250 is 125?
Yes, half of 250 is 125. To prove it: use a calculator and calculate 125 times 2.
What is the greatest common factor of 125 and 250?
The GCF of 125 and 250 is 125. Since 125 is a factor of 250, it is automatically the GCF.
Can you use 250 volt fuse in place of 600 volt fuse on a 277 volt system in a in line fuse holder?
No, use a fuse rated for the proper voltage.
What is 125 plus 125?
125 + 125 = 250
