If you get 220 volts instead of 208 volts it means that the transformer supplying the circuit is wired in Delta with one of the legs center-tapped to ground.

No the US voltage is much lower and it will need a transformer


What is the current in an ac circuit with 120volts and a 60watt light bulb?

Power = Current * Voltage Current = Power / Voltage Current = 60 W / 120 V Curretn = 0.5 A


Can you interconnect 110voltage and 220volts?

Not in any way that's simple enough to be explained here. mains voltage can easily kill and destroy property.


What transformer is needed to convert 220volts to 110 volts?

Yes, transformers which operate on 110 - 120 Volts exist. This question is probably incomplete as it only mentions one voltage: it could be for the primary or the secondary or for a single-winding auto-transformer. The missing information cannot be guessed...

How is the voltage for homes shipped to a home?

Voltage isn't "shipped", really. Generator terminal voltage is typically in the range of 10-30kV; they are connected to the bulk electric system by step up transformers that convert this 10-30kV into voltage in excess of 100kV for power transmission. Near your home, this voltage is again stepped down to sub transmission voltage levels, then distribution voltage levels. The small power lines near your home are probably distribution level power lines (often 2 - 20kV); these will have a center tapped step down transformer to connect your home, at 120volts, to the grid.


Formula for converting US voltage to India voltage?

Using a power tool that is 120volts with a 115volt transformer?

If you are in north America, 120 is a 'nominal voltage' printed on many power tools. In fact they will almost all work on voltage between 105 and 130, as long as using 60 hz.


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.


Does centre tap transformer convert ac voltage to ac voltage?

Yes. Transformers convert power by stepping up or down voltage. It doesn't matter what tap configuration they have.
