What is the difference of 208V differ from 220V?

Not very much. As far as I am aware they are intercompatible, some sensitive equipment such as computers have 220/240 switch, but most equipment made for Europe is designed for 230v.


How do you run 380 volt motor off 220 volt ac?

Short answer: No. (unless you like ruining motors) Longer answer: Not really, but there are some motors that can be re-wired so that instead of 440v they will run on 220v. However, this is not that common. Conclusion: Check the motor to see if it is dual-voltage on it's nameplate. If it is, you can re-connect it to work on 220v. If it is NOT a dual-voltage motor, you will absolutely ruin it if you connect it to 220v.


Can you use my US bought sole F85 treadmill in Europe 220V 50Hz if I get a 3000W transformer from 220V to 110V?

I have a sole F60 bought in US and I use it now in France with a transformer ; you never know if you can use it or not, sometimes it works , sometimes not...I don't know why maybe it's a problem of frequency...


Can you use 120V lamps in Europe by just putting in a 240V bulb and a European adapter on the plug?

If all the components are rated to 220V, yes. Keep in mind that if the appliance was designed for 110V it may arc if 220 is run through it. If you don't know the device can handle 220V, don't run it at 220V. Chances are it was manufactured cleaply and cannot handle the extra voltage.


Do you need a neutral wire for 220v generator?

Quick answer is that 220v does not use or need a neutral. The original concept of the neutral (going back to Edison and DC power) was cutting the power in half (not really accurate but one way to look at it). Think about two 110v batteries in series the neutral would come off the connection between the two batteries. so current flow would go from +110 to -110 (first battery) to +110 to -110 (second battery) resulting in 220 output. The connection between the batteries (the neutral) is +110 / -110 resulting in 0. If you want a 110 current instead of using the full flow you could instead use only 'one side' and the neutral and get the 110. When we made the move from DC to AC the basics of this format was kept. So for 110v you need hot and neutral (and a ground) for 220v you need two hots (no neutral) and a ground.HUGE CATCH - WARNING - WARNING!!!Just because you think your equipment is 220v doesn't mean everything it does it does requires 220v for example: some equipment uses 220v for the motor and 110v for the rest of its electrical needs (Dryers are a typical example). In the old days, the dryer would use the two hots (and ground for safety) for 220v and then use one hot and ground (no 'safety' ground) for 110v. However, people often got shocked because this unsafe method would often cause the entire metal chassis to take on a charge. So todays dryers (and any other machine that has both 220v and 110v components) have and are required to have 2 hots ground and neutral. However, the documentation isn't always specific about the '110v need' and a lot of 220v only equipment will still have 4 wire connections even though the neutral is not needed.If you are sure your equipment never utilizes 110v - then you don't need a neutral (a single motor, no thrills (control panel, laser guides, etc), 220v table saw would be fine with out a neutral (one with the thrills may be fine also - depends on the power requirement of the 'thrills'). I don't know about your generator is depends if it is strictly 220v.

How do you wire 240V straight blade outlet when both screws are brass?

Both screws are brass because in the US you need two hots to get 220V. In a 220V only circuit you do not connect the neutral, only two hots and a ground. This is why 220V breakers are twice as wide as 110V and have two terminals instead of one.


If I connect 110v xbox one to a 220v outlet what will burn will the power supply burn or will the Xbox one burn?

If you connect 110V xbox one to a 220V outlet, only the power supply will burn and not the Xbox one.


Which resistor is connect 1.5 volt led to series 220v ac?

Typically, a 100 ohm resistor is used to connect a 1.5 volt led to a series 220v ac adapter. Many LEDs can be connected into a string using the resistors.


If you have a 100A 2 phase panel and 2 groups of equipment 70A each can you connect one group to first phase and the other to second?

In a word; no. If you ever plan to have both groups of equipment running at the same time the panel will be constantly tripping. Also most "equipment" normally runs on 220v which requires two hots: both phases.


Can a Volt motor run on Volt?

How to use a 220v electronic equipment in USA?

There may be a switch on the equipment to change the input voltage to 110v. Check near where the cord attached to the equipment you're using, it will be a recessed switch.


Will a us xbox work in angola?

Yes it will. The only thing that you have to keep in mind is that in Angola the power is 220V so U'll need a power brick with 220v. Or U can buy a power converter to convert 220v to 110v.


Will a Steam mop 220v 60hz work on 220v 50hz it uses about 1300w thanks?

Frequency doesn't come into it for normal electrical devices, as long as the voltage matches it will be fine. 50/60hz differences only really affect display equipment.
