Voltage from a 240 volt source has 2 hot legs to ground. Leg to ground (netutral) voltage is 120 volts.
AnswerIf you are referring to the European system, then low-voltage distribution is a three-phase, four-wire system, with a line voltage (i.e. line to line) of 400 V and a phase voltage (i.e. line to neutral) of 230 V. A three-phase four-wire system comprises three line conductors and one neutral conductor.

How long does current remain in a 220 volt circuit?
The current will remain in a 220 volt circuit as long as the circuit load remains in the circuit and the circuit remains closed.
How do you install a 2 pole CB 220 volt using AWG eight two wire to fuse box?
If it's a 220 volt circuit without a neutral bring wire into panel, put ground wire on ground bar, put load wires onto breaker.
How do you wire 220 volt 200 amp diagram?
With thick wires that have excellent insulation.
How can I install a 110 receptacle alongside a 220 receptacle using the 220 receptacle wires for power?
While you can physically do this it violates the Electrical Code. 110 Volt and 220 Volt receptacles are required by the Electrical Code to be on separate breakers for safety reasons, this would put them on the same 220 Volt breaker.
Can you use 265 volt appliance on a 220 volt line?
Yes, the 265 volts is just the maximum the appliance can handle. You can use it on a 240 volt circuit.
How long does current remain in a 220 volt circuit?
The current will remain in a 220 volt circuit as long as the circuit load remains in the circuit and the circuit remains closed.
What happens when two wires are connected?
Wiring to the circuit breakers is 220 volts. The circuit breaker box has 2 110 Volt lines. If you connect two black lines together from one side nothing happens. If the these two black wires are from different circuit breakers you may have a safety issue by back feeding the electricity. If you connect 2 different 110 volt lines you will end up with a short. This ends up as a 220 volt short.
Does a 220 volt ac contact get a positive and a negative?
A 220 vac circuit has 2 hot wires and a neutral. The neutral stays at 0 volts and the hot wires vary between positive and negative. When one is positive, the other is negative.
Can you supply three 220 -240 volt 16.6 amp infrared heaters with one circuit?
Can you supply three 220 -240 volt 16.6 amp infrared heaters with one circuit?
Can 110 volt apliance work on 220 volts circuit?
NO - that is dangerous.
How do you install a 2 pole CB 220 volt using AWG eight two wire to fuse box?
If it's a 220 volt circuit without a neutral bring wire into panel, put ground wire on ground bar, put load wires onto breaker.
Is there an adapter that will make a 110 volt refrigerator receptacle into a 220 volt?
No. You need to rewire the circuit from the electric panel.
What size wire for an 80 amp 220 volt circuit?
# 3 gauge

Can a 440 volt capacitor be used for a 230 volt application?
No. The capacitor will short out and possibly explode. On the other hand, the 440 Volt Cap can be used in a 220 Volt circuit.
How do you charge a 12volt battery from a 220volt home system?
With a 12 volt battery charger that is made to plug into a 220 volt circuit.
