How do you tap into a 220v feed going to baseboard heater and get a 110v supply?

This is only valid in parts of the work using 110/220 Volt split phase power system.
There will be 110V from each of the hot leads to ground/neutral, so connect your outlet to only one of the hot leads, the neutral lead and the earth ground lead. This may be a problem with a dedicated 220V circuit as there will likely be no neutral line. Another note - this could well cause an unbalanced electrical load across the two pole breaker. If the breaker has a rating of 20A and the 110V circuit draws much of that current, the heater will likely trip the breaker.

How is 220v water heater rewired to 110v?
Use a transformer to lower from 220 to 110V.
How many amps does a 8000 watt generator supply?
An 8000 watt generator at regular house current 110v will supply 72 amps.

Do you need a neutral when running a BLK Red and ground from a panel directly to a 240V 4800W 20A heater outlet?
No. The black is 220, the red is 220, and the ground serves as the neutral. the last answer "no" is correct but the reason is not. the ground is still a ground. the red is 110v and the black is 110v. together they are 220v. the neutral or (common) is for a 110v return. for example a stove or a dryer will have 2 hots a common and a ground because they use 220v and 110v. 220v to power the heating elements and 110 for the controls, light bulbs or the outlet on a stove. A construction heater only uses 220v and only requires the two hots and the ground for safety.
Is there anyway to get 220V 60hz from a 110V 50hz power supply?
It would involve some electronics work but it could be done. Might add that it could be more expensive than just buying the proper power supply. Use Use 220V 60hz motor to run 110V 50hz Generator.
Can a 2-pole circuit breaker be used for 110V 220V or 440V?
All three, on 110V a split receptacle, on 220V a baseboard heater, on 440V a construction heater or similar resistive load.
How is 220v water heater rewired to 110v?
Use a transformer to lower from 220 to 110V.
How do you wire a 110v supply for 220v heaters?
A 220v heater has two 110v lines coming into it--either two 110v lines with a neutral, like a range, or two 110v lines with no neutral, like a water heater. Unless there's a fan in the system, they only use two wires. It's cheaper that way. If you have a DEDICATED circuit for each 220v heater--one where there's only one thing on the breaker--and you have at least 10/2 wire (unless the amps call for 8/2 or 6/2 wiring, which happens), you can install a two-pole breaker to feed 220v to the heater. If you're just trying to plug the heater into an outlet and get it to work, you've got a problem in that you can't pull 220v out of a 110v outlet no matter how hard you try. Sorry.
Can 240v coil contactor be connected to 110v supply?
no
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.
Can you use a 110v heater in a car?
NO the heat would be to strong and the insides where the heat comes out would melt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you modified a power sources from110v in 220v?
of course. go to the market and buy a transformer. It will convert a 110V supply to a 220V supply.
Can you run a 110v heater on 220v circuit?
No.It'll overload and fail just about immediately.It's possible - but not recommended - to run two 110 v heaters in series from a 220v circuit.
IS there an adapter for a 240V heater that will allow you to plug it into two 110V outlets?
No. Sounds like a fairly hazardous thing to try as well. If it's to use a heater in the US, then buy a US heater at a lower cost than any adaptor that might do the job for you. If it's to use on a UK building site that has 110V but doesn't have 240V, it breaks all the rules because you end up with 240V where you shouldn't.
An electric iron always draws a current of 3.4 amp from the 220v supply line what current will this electric iron draws when connected to 110v supply line?
1.7amp
How many amps does a 8000 watt generator supply?
An 8000 watt generator at regular house current 110v will supply 72 amps.
When do you need to convert the voltage for appliances?
You need to convert the voltage if your appliance requires less voltage than you power supply. example: appliances is 110V and power supply is 220V.
