What else can I help you with?
Can an appliance that is 115 volts 15 amps be plugged into a normal household electrical outlet in the untied states?
Yes, the appliance can be plugged into a normal household electrical outlet in the United States since such outlets typically provide 120 volts. Ensure that the outlet is on its own circuit to avoid overloading it with other devices, which can cause tripping the circuit breaker.
A 60 Watt appliance is plugged into a 120 Volt AC outlet How much current is the appliance drawing when it is turned on?
Amps (current) times volts = watts. so watts divided by volts = current (Amps). i.e.- 0.5 Amps.
When i plugged 110 volts wii into 220 volts socket smoke came out of the ac adaptor did i damage the console?
No way of telling, but you certainly fried the AC adaptor.
Can a standard US 110 volt socket sustain 220 volts of electricity?
It could. No problem. But it is no clever idea. The socket would not be harmed, but the appliance almost certainly would.
You observe a small plaque on an electrical appliance that reads in part 115 volts AC 60 Hz This means that the appliance?
That the appliance does not need a electrical transformer and uses the US standards for electricity off the grid.
Can 115 volt appliance be plugged into Canadian household outlet?
Yes. All Canadian regular household outlets work at 110-120 Volts.
Can a 240v be plugged in to a 220v socket?
In some parts of the world, an 1875 watt hair dryer can and does use 220 volts from a 220 volt outlet?
What is the voltage difference between the two holes in a wall socket?
One of the holes is a power wire and the other is a ground. Without both you have no voltage. As soon as the power wire is grounded either through the other side of the circuit or by some careless human you have 110 volts.
Can you run a 240v appliance ie a radio that's plugged into a socket connected to a 110v system on a market stall. h-accessories.co.UK by the way?
NO The radio will actually run at about 6 volts via an internal transformer. If you plug it into a 110v supply you will only produce 3 volts which is the same as trying to run it with flat batteries. The only way is to use a 110v to 240v transformer which will be rather large, cumbersome and heavy.
Can you plug 1 ampere 12 volts dc appliance to a 30 ampheres 12 volt dc outlet?
The outlet is rated for 30A, so anything up to, but not exceeding 30A can be plugged in.
Can a 1100w mini oven safely be used plugged Ino a standard household socket?
A 1100 watt oven can be plugged into a standard household socket. Using the formula for computing wattage which is the voltage at the outlet, (120 volts A.C.) times the Amperage,(unknown, although you could look at the label on the back or bottom of the appliance) yoiu would get the wattage. Volts times amperage equals wattage. This can be looked at also as wattage divided by the voltage to get the amperage or current. If the amperage is below 15 it is okay to plug it in. Some kitchen outlets are rated higher like 20 amps but most outlets are 15 amp. 1100 watts divided by 120 volts gives you about 9 amps, well within the limits of the electrical circuit.
What is better to run an appliance on 120 volts or 240 volts and what is the least cost to run.?
It is best to run the appliance at the voltage for which it was designed. Frequently Stoves, Clothes dryers, Air conditioners, Heaters, and a few other appliances with their own circuits run on 240. Most household appliances that are plugged in run on 120. Outside of Baltimore, Maryland, one subdivision heated houses with 480 volts. One man worked on his own heater. He was electrocuted. What he did would have caused a spark with 120 volts, not an electrocution. Higher voltage usually costs less to run if the appliance is designed for higher voltage.
