You need to change the circuit breaker and sometimes the wiring itself. For example, if you have a 120 volt circuit with a black wire as the hot and the white as a neutral you would take the white wire off the neutral bar of the circuit breaker panel and put it on one leg of a 240 volt breaker. The receptacle would have to be changed as well. The white wire should be re colored to black or red.

∙ 12y agoOn the supply side, just use one of the hot wires and the neutral. In 220-240 wire there should be black, red, white and bare. Black and red are hot, white is neutral and bare is ground. For things that run on 220, you can't really change them to 110.

How do you get 240 volts out of a 110 outlet?
You would have to run new wires to obtain 240 volts or use a step-up transformer.
Why do you only have 110 power to your electric water heater?
There are small water heaters that run on 110 volts. However if yours is a large 240 volt heater and you only have 110 volts going to it, then it is fused and one on the fuses has blown in the service panel.
Can you change a dryer plug to fit a regular wall plug?
Different plugs are designed so that you can't plug an appliance into the wrong voltage. A dryer is usually 220-240 Volts and your standard outlet is 110-120 Volts. You can't do what you suggest.
Why do you have 110 volts but no 240 volts?
you probably are in a house that is about 100 years old rural houses sometimes had Delco system at 32VDC 110VDC you are in historic edison NJ
Do you need to change European wiring of a 3-bulb light fixture to American wiring and why?
The American system is 110 Volts and the UK (plus some other EU countries) are about 240 Volts. The formula is Volts X Amps = Watts. Don't panic, that's as hard as it gets. The problem is this, that for 240 Volts a current of .25 Amps is needed to light a 60 Watt bulb (240 X .25 = 60). At 110 Volts this would be about 110 X .5 = 60 giving over twice the Amps for the same Watts. The more Amps, the heavier the wires needed to carry the power. So, to be safe the fitting would have to be rewired. If in doubt contact an experienced electrician to rewire it for you. Better a few dollars than dialling 911 because the house is on fire!

Will your kilowatts consumption increase if a 110 volts meter is connected to a 240 volts wiring?
It is dangerous to connect 110 v equipment to a 240 v system. See an electrician before you do anything.
Is Apple Watch 110 and 240 volts capable?
The watches themselves use batteries and do not depend on the house voltage supply. It is important to have the correct charger suitable for the house voltage of 110 or 240 volts.
Can a 110 volt motor run on 240 volts without damage?
No, unless the motor was wound for dual voltage operation, which it will state on the motor nameplate, a 110 volt motor run on 240 volts will be damaged.
How many turns must the primary coil have if it steps down 1200 volts to 110 volts with 240 turns?
110 V gives 240 T and 1200 V gives X? so X=(1200V*240T)/110 V=2619 Turns
Would 110-240 volts 50-60 Hz work on 120 volts?
If that is the information that is stated on the nameplate of the device then yes it will operate on 120 volts.
Can 110v circuit power 240v devices?
You need a step-up transformer, to go from 110 to 220-240 volts. Then a 110 volt supply can operate 240 volt equipment.
Do all desktop computers and monitors have a voltage range between 110 and 240 Volts?

Is France 110 volt or 220 volt?
France uses 220-240 volts for their electrical system.
What are standard voltage values?
If you are referring to domestic electrical outlets, most regions use either 110 - 120 volts or 230 - 240 volts.
Why do you only have 110 power to your electric water heater?

What is the maximum current demand for a 15000 watt range?
The maximum current will depend on the voltage of the power supply. For a supply at 240 volts, the max current will be 15000/240 = 62.5 amps. For a supply at 110 volts, the max current will be 15000/110 = 136.36amps to two significant figures.
