Can a 240 volt sub panel run 115 volt motor?

In Europe 240 volts is standard, so no a 115 volt motor will not work. In USA 120 volts is standard, so if your sub-panel has 120 volts, (check with voltage meter) then yes. Read carefully, To get 240 volts in a sub-panel in USA the electric company brings two (2) wires, each wire has 120 volts, 120 + 120 = 240. One of those 120 volts will run your motor. Look for the wires from the electric company and check them with your voltage meter. If this is a commercial application you will need to call an electrical contractor, power companies for commercial applications do not follow the above.


Why is it that the outlet shows 209 volts instead of 120 volts?

Because it is a 220 volt outlet instead of a 120 volt outlet. Now, if this is a standard 120 volt outlet that is reading 209 volts then someone has made a mistake in the wiring. You need to call an electrician to straighten this out.


How do you convert your 110 volt neon sign to run off 240 volt UK socket?

What you will need is a 240 to 120 step down transformer. An adapter might work but it depends on what the current draw of the neon sign is at 120 volts.


How do you connect a 240V electric cooktop with four wires to the 120V services from the electric panel which is 2 wires?

If your electrical service is only 120 volts you have a problem. There is no way that you can connect a 240 volt cook top to that service. You have two options, one is to upgrade to a new 120/240 volt electrical service. Your other option is to find a 120 volt electrical cook top.

How do you convert a 110 volt chandelier to 220 volt?

you don't. you just take and use 120 volts from the 220. At least that's what I'd do.


How can you rewire your 220 volt motor to run on 120 volts?

If a motor is designed to run on different voltages there will be a wiring diagram on motor plate for 120 volt wiring. If not you will have to use a step up transformer to convert 120 V to the higher voltage.

Can a 120 volt appliance run on a 110 volt circuit?

Yes. Circuits in a home are 120 volts but people tend to call them 110 volt circuits. The 120 volts you read on the appliance is the maximum voltage the appliance can handle. The actual voltage you will read at any outlet will range from 110 to 120 volts.

How do you convert 230 volts to 12 volt system?

With a Step Down transformer. But you will probably have a hard time finding a 240 volt unit. 120 volts units are readily available. <<>> It depends on how big of a transformer that you are looking for. There are many control transformers in the 50 to 500 VA range that have dual primary and dual secondary. The primary side can be connected to 240 volt or 120 volt and the secondary can be connected for either 12 or 24 volts.
