How long does current remain in a 220 volt circuit?

The current will remain in a 220 volt circuit as long as the circuit load remains in the circuit and the circuit remains closed.


Do you need a 240 volt fuse in each leg of a 240 volt circuit or should you use two 120 volt fuses?

Both legs of a 240 branch circuit need to be fused with a fuse rated at 240 volts or better. The voltage potential across the load is what governs the fuse voltage ratings.


How do you install electrical wiring for room aircon?

More information is needed, maybe a lot more. Depending on its size you may need a new circuit for it. If you trip the breaker then don't use it and get a new circuit installed for it on its own breaker. You are probably talking about a window unit. If it is a simple 5000 BTU unit you can probably plug it into the nearest receptacle. If you trip the breaker then you need to run a new circuit for it. If it is much larger you may need to run a new circuit. If it is a 240 volt unit then you need a new circuit.


What happens when 110 volt airbrush compresor TC 196 is plugged into a 240 volt source?

First, someone would have changed the plug before that would be possible. 240 Volt receptacles do not accept 120 Volt plugs. Second, IF someone changed the plug on the compressor, then plugged it in using both legs of the 240 Volt circuit, the compressor motor would self destruct instantly; internal wiring would burn and you would smell the burning insulation.

I have an old car with a 6 volt system. Can I plug in my GPS unit which is designed for 12 volts?

You can plug it in but it will not work. You need a 6 to 12 volt power step-up converter. Simply plug it into the cigarette lighter and then plug your GPS into the unit.

When would you need to use westinghouse circuit breakers?

You need these types of circuit breakers when using 240 volt power rather than 120 volt. Large appliances such as a dryer require these larger circuit breakers. Other appliances such as stoves and some water heaters also require them.


Is a map of a circuit a volt?

A map of a circuit is not a volt. A map of a circuit is referred to as a schematics chart. The schematics chart details the path of the circuit, from beginning to end.


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.
