240 v doesn't use any electricity. v is a symbol for voltage which is one of the properties of electricity. How much is used is determind by load. 240 v simply is how much pressure the electrons are being pushed through the circuit with.

Can you use a 415v motor in a 240 v socket?
No you can't use a 415v motor in a 240 v socket.
You buy some electronics from US but you are from Kuwait and the electricity is different so can you change the electricity from 110-120 v to 220-240 v?
one of the way is if you use ups inverter which will first store electricity then would be able to give needed output
Can you use a 120volts recessed lights in the united kingdom?
All our electricity supply is nominally 230v and practically 240 v. At my home for example it's usually in the range 242-252 v. We have recessed lights but all the bulbs you can buy are marked 240 v.
Can you use 600 volt wire for 240 volt appliance?
It depends on the voltage, but if you are using it on a 240 v system, it's quite OK to use wire that can take 600 v (if you had to buy the wire, you would be spending too much).
What types of electricity do we need and want?
The type of electric power we want is the type that all the equipment we use is designed for. In Europe that is 230 volts 50 Hz, in North America 120 v or 240 v 60 Hz.
Does Belgium use 240 v?
No. It uses 220 volts.
Can you use a european light in US?
European lamps work on 230 v (240 v in the UK). In the USA the supply is 120/240 v with low-power appliances like lights running on 120 v. But 240 v is usually available in a US house so see an electrician.
Does a 120 volt light use less than a 240 volt light?
The question is "use less of what?". If they are both the same wattage the 240 V light will use 1/2 the current of a 120 V light.
How much voltage is required to run 0.64 A of current through a 240 resistor Use V IR.?
2.7 x 10^-3
What are the two main types of voltage in use in the UK?
In the UK, the two main types of voltage in use are 230 volts for domestic supplies and 400 volts for industrial supplies.
Why would a generator put out 240 volt single phase?
For a home generator, to supply voltage for devices that require 220 V or 240 V. An electric oven or clothes dryer are examples of such devices. The generator at the power plant actually generates electricity at a much higher voltage, for easier transmission (and those are 3-phase generators). Also most homes run on 240 single phase. Power is split at the breaker box. To supply 120 loads and 240 loads. 240 single phase is a common voltage.
Are 250 voltage reading considered to be nominal 240 volts?
Different countries have different legal limits to how much their electricity supply voltages may vary. In the UK, for example, the nominal supply voltage for residential supplies is 230 V, but this is allowed to vary between -6% and +10%. So, as you can see, and 'actual' voltage of 250 V is within the allowable upper limit (253 V) for the nominal voltage of 230 V. So, to answer your question, you need to check what the allowable variation is at your location (your electricity supplier can confirm this) -I would guess that 250 V would be well within the allowance for 240 V.
