How do you rewire a 120V or 240V motor running on 220V volts back to 120V?
If it is a six wire motor go to http://apps.motorboss.com/connections/108323.pdf
If you put a 60W 120V bulb in a 120V lamp that has a transformer for 240V and plug it into a 240V outlet will it work or blow the circuitry?
Off hand no but your explanations are not clear as to who is doing what to whom,,
What will happen if a 120V lamp is plugged into a 240V outlet?
lamp go "POOF!" It may be very bright, but not for very long!
How do you rewire a 240V motor to 120V?
The linked site has just about any connection you might need. See related links below.
Can you rewire a 240v lamp light fitting or small appliance to 110v and if so how?
Yes, you need a transformer
If you put a 240V bulb in a 120V lamp that has no transformer and plug it into a 240V outlet will it work or blow the circuitry?
Not only will it work, but it will last for much longer than if it was connected to 220volts!
If you buy a light in the US with wiring for 120V can you take it to a 240v country and just change the plug?
If the light you refer to is just a plain incandescent lamp, then changing the plug and changing the lamp to a 240 volt lamp should work OK If the light has a ballast (transformer-like winding) of any kind, the voltage rating of the ballast has to match the line coming in. A few ballasts have multiple taps - you may be able to change the internal tap from 120v to 240v you can not convert it. Otherwise connecting a 120v ballast to 240v will damage it quickly.
Where can one find out how to rewire a standard lamp?
eHow is a great resource for topics like this, with articles like "How to Re-Wire a Lamp," "How to Rewire a Lamp with a Rotary Switch," "How to Rewire an Old Lamp," and "How to Wire a Floor Lamp."
How do you rewire a 120v outlet to 240v?
You don't. Electric devices like outlets have voltage and current ratings that should not be exceeded. Also, the 240V would have to be run from the main panel and may require a different size wire depending on the current required.
Can a 120v light bulb work in a 240v lamp?
If you mean that the lamp is rated for 240 volts then yes, a 120 volt bulb will operate in it if the lamp bases fit. If the 240 volt lamp is operating on 240 volts then no, a 120 volt lamp will not work in the fixture.
What takes less energy 120v or 240v?
120V takes less energy
Can I use a 120v rated bulb in a 240v socket on a 120v circuit?
yes
You are building a new house and trying to decide between 120v and 240v which is better More practical?
In the US, both 120v and 240v will be needed for your home, as different appliances need different voltages. Your TV needs 120V, while your electric dryer and stove will need a 120V/240V supply. If you have an electric water heater, or central AC unit, they will need a 240V supply.
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
Why are you not getting 240v between the two hot wires?
Because they are "in-phase". In order to get 240v, you need two 120v Alternating Current lines that are 180° out of phase, that is, opposite phases. Only when one line is +120v and the other -120v will you see 240v between the wires.
Can I use 18 AWG speaker wire to rewire a lamp?
using 18 AWG speaker wire to rewire a lamp
How do you plug a 120V appliance into an outlet wired for a 240V?
you get an adapter
Can 240V washer run on 120V outlet?
No.
Can a 120V Generator run 240V machines?
No
What do you need to do to operate a 240V 50Hz halogen lamp on a 120V 60Hz circuit?
You can't run this light on a 120V circuit and get the same light output if it is designed to run on a 240V service. You need a voltage converter transformer. They are a common item sold for international travel. The difference in frequency shouldn't affect the light.
How can you convert a 240v clothes dryer to 120v can you use to different outlettes?
You cannot use 2-120v outlets to power a 240v dryer. You can convert a 240v dryer outlet to power 2-120v outlets if they are supplied with a neutral. This requires a competent electrician. Do not do this yourself.
What is the normal voltage of house clectricity in the US?
120v or 240v. 120v is one leg of the main panel, and 240 is two legs of the main panel. 120v is lights,outlets. 240v, dryer,stove.
