If you are talking about a 6 volt coil, yes, so long as the contacts are rated for the 230 volt circuit.

If you are talking about 6 volt contacts, no, absolutely not.

What do relay and circuit breakers use?

No. A relay is an electric switch and a circuit breaker is an overcurrent device.


What is the use of over voltage relay?

The use of over load relays in circuits is to protect the circuit against over heating .


Can you use a rectifying diode to reduce voltage in an AC circuit?

No, you must use one of three options depending upon your circuit and what you want to accomplish: 1. Use a transformer (ie; 24 volts into 12 volts). 2. Use a voltage regulator circuit. 3. Use a ZENER diode that is rated for the maximum voltage you desire in your circuit. Example: A 12 volt circuit with a 5 volt zener diode (the diode will only let a maximum 5 volts get through and will disipate the remaining voltage to ground. (requires proper design and resistor selection). ANSWER: YES ABSOLUTELY if there is a full wave rectifier removing one diode will reduce the voltage and reduce power too.


How many amp will reduced if voltage increases from 120 volt to 220 volt?

The voltage cannot just be increased in a circuit because there is a risk of damage, blown circuit breakers and/or fire. However an appliance desgined to run on 220 v will use 6/11ths of the current used by an identical appliance designed for 120 v.


What is use of spike buster in relay?

A: I never heard of a spike buster but if you are from England I would understand the different terminology. The use for the spike buster is to protect the driving circuit from negative spikes generated by the relay coil as it releases the power stored in it. The DIODE [ SPIKE BUSTER] will clamp harmlessly the negative spike to .6 to .7v negative which will harm the driving circuit Without the diode hundreds of volts can be generated destroying the driving circuit

Is 24 voltage a lot?

It depends on the use it is being put to. It is sufficient for a 24 volt circuit. Too much for a 12 volt circuit and too little for a 240 volt circuit.


Is it safe to use a 230-240 volt microwave in a country like China where the voltage is 220?

No, if it says 230-240 .. 230 is the minimum..


Can you wire a 120 volt ballast to a 347 volt circuit?

No, not a good idea. You have to use a 347 volt ballast.


You have 240v and you need to convert to 230v for an air compressor?

Yes, you can use a 230 volt device on a 240 volt supply.


What do relay and circuit breakers use?

No. A relay is an electric switch and a circuit breaker is an overcurrent device.


Are Ground fault circuit interrupter GFCI devices available for use on 240 volt 480 volt and 600 volt circuits?

Yes, in the form of GFCI circuit breakers, not as a receptacle.


Can you use 265 volt appliance on a 220 volt line?

Yes, the 265 volts is just the maximum the appliance can handle. You can use it on a 240 volt circuit.


Can you use a 230v saw on a 40amp circuit?

Possibly, most 230 volt saws draw about 16-18 amps on each line. There will be a spec plate on or by the motor which has the amp draw marked. CHECK this first.


Is it safe to run a 230 volt with 110 electric?

No a 230 volt appliance should not be pluuged into a 110 volt socket (And vice versa) you need to buy a converter that can be plugged into the 110 volt outlet then the appliance can be plugged into the converter.
