== == Turn off the power. Take the box apart. Attach the box to the wall either using the studs inside the wall (if there are no holes in the box to let you do this, you need to drill them into the metal box...if this is beyond your skill level call an electrician) Or else, attach the box surface-mount style if there is enough room behind the appliance. (If there are holes in the back of the outlet box, attach the box that way using screws to the nearest wall stud.)

IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOB

SAFELY AND COMPETENTLY

REFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.

If you do this work yourself, always turn off the power

at the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work

AND

always use an electricians test meter having metal-tipped probes

(not a simple proximity voltage indicator)

to insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

Will 220v 60hz work on 240v 60hz whitout any problem?

Most appliciances that are built for use with 220V would normally be fine with 240V. In most cases, they are also labeled 220-240V. Depending on how critical the application is, you should probably check with the manufacturer.

How do you connect a 230volt 60Hz air conditioning unit with one phase wire to a 240 volt 60Hz two phase south American supply?

Treat the USA 2 Phases as 1, its called split phase, instead of Line and Neutral, you ahve two phases but they deliver 240v, this will not hurt a 230v machine as the chances are that you are NOT getting 240v supply at the delivery point anyway. As long as the machine si 60Hz and supply 60Hz, you will not have a problem


Can you run your neon sign of 120v 50hz 60hz 0.6a 7.5kv 30mA in an Australian 240v power outlet?

No. The neon sign is fed by a step-up transformer. Primary side 120V, secondary side 7500V. If you applied 240 to the primary side you would get 15000 volts on the neon tube. A flash over and then nothing. If you can find a transformer from 120V to 240V or 240V to 120V then you are good to go. Connect 240V to 240V side and you will get 120V out the other, connect the 120V side to the neon sign and you should have light. Transformer should be at least 100va. This will give you an output of .83 amps at 120V

How can you convert US 120V or 240V circuit into a single phase 240V circuit to use on a European appliance?

The voltage isn't a problem, you can run 220 from your house and use that to run a European appliance, the problem is whether the appliance is dependant on line HZ. European is 50HZ and US is 60HZ. If the appliance specifies 220/50HZ, it will probably give you trouble here. If it says 220V/50 or 60HZ


What is better a plugin charger with an input of 100-240vac 50-60hz 0.15a output 5.0v0.7a or a phone charger with an input of 100v-240v 0.2a 50hz-60hz an output of 5.0v800ma?

The one with the output of 5v 800ma as this will charge devices quicker and overheat less.


Is there a difference between Australian and American power supplies?

There is a difference. For one thing, Australia works at 50hz and America at 60hz, and in domestic supply, Australia works at 240v and America at 110v.
