This is the type of system in a typical residence. Each breaker controls a separate circuit and all devices are wired in parallel. Each system would be designed for the specific application, including how many amps were available for the specific installation.

How 240 VAC achieved in a 120 VAC environment North America home?

By connecting two separate 120 VAC legs into one. If they are and if it comes to your home from a local utility they will be, it will add to 240. Whenever combining AC or Sine waves into one for the purpose of adding they must be in phase.


Is there anyway to get 120V 60Hz from a 220V 50Hz power supply?

You can purchase an inverter that accepts 220 VAC 50Hz input and produces 120 VAC 60Hz output. You can purchase an inverter that works from single phase or three phase electricity and can produce single phase or three phase output. You must specify the 120 VAC current load when choosing the inverter. You must also be sure the 220 VAC 50 Hz supply has sufficient current capacity to operate the inverter with the required 120 VAC current load. The inverter works by rectifying the 220 VAC 50 Hz input into DC energy. The inverter then uses switching solid state components to produce 120 VAC 60 Hz output from the DC energy.

Can you connect 2 wire to 3 wire house has black white red and ground Appliance has black white and ground?

It seems like you are describing the Red, Black, White and Ground in your electric panel. There is 240 VAC between Black and Red and 120 VAC between Black and White and 120 VAC between Red and White. The electric panel has two busses that supply 120 VAC on alternating breakers in your panel. Essentially, the Red turns into "black" in the panel for all practical purposes. If you have a 240 VAC circuit it essentially takes up to two vertical positions in your electric panel.
