Can you change 30 amp to 60 amp?
Yes, if you use a 240 volt to 480 volt step up 15 KVA transformer. This will give you 30 amps usable at 480 volts.
Can you connect a 230 volt 15 amp air compressor to a 240 volt 50 25 amp generator?
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.
Will a 14-2 gage wire work for a 240 volt 15 amp breaker?
No. You will need a 14/3 with Ground.
Can you change a 250v 15 amp breaker with a 115v15 amp breaker?
No, it would not be safe because 250v is too high for that breaker. <<>> In North America all household breakers are rated at 120/240 volts. A 250 volt 15 amp breaker would would be a two pole breaker and take up two slots in the distribution panel. This can be pulled out and replaced with two separate 15 amp breakers or one 15 amp breaker and a slot panel filler to cover the second slot.
Can a 240 volt receptacle go on a 15 amp circut breaker?
In North America you would need two 15 amp breakers to obtain 240 volts. The wire for a 15 amp circuit would be #14 AWG. So to answer the question, yes a 240 volt receptacle can go on a 15 amp circuit.

Can you plug a 2400 watt in a 15 amps?
No. A 120 volt 15 amp service will handle a maximum of 1,800 watts. Even a 20 amp service will only handle 2400 watts and that is at max load which you should never load on a 20 amp circuit. You will need a 30 amp 120 volt or 240 volt service for 2400 watts.
I have a 220 volt 30 amp generator and 15 amp 240 volt light what do you need to do to make this work?
Nothing, just plug it in. Although the generator has the ability to produce up to 30 amps, the light will only pull 15, this will allow you to utilize the generator to run other items as well...
Can you convert an old 15 amp 125 volt electrical outlet to a household electrical outlet?
A 15 amp 125 volt outlet is a household outlet.

How many 240 volt 4.9 amp draw lights can be run on a 15 kva 2 phase transformer?
The lamp uses 240 x 4.9 VA, that is 1176 VA, so a 15 kVA transformer, which is 15,000 VA, could feed 12 lamps.
Is 15 amp of 125 ac volt is equal to 15 amp 12 dc volt?
No. At 125 volts, the same 15 amp current results in 10 times as much power. Ohm's Law states that amps x volts = power.
How many volts can you draw off of a 15amp breaker?
It's the amps that are controlled by the breaker not the volts. You can have a 600 volt 15 amp breaker, you can have a 347 volt 15 amp breaker. The breaker will trip when you exceed 15 AMPS.
