What is more efficient to run a pool pump on 120 Volt or 240 Volt?
240
Does a 6 amp 240 volt appliance hook up to 110?
No, a 240 volt device runs on 240, and a 120 volt device runs on 120. Attempting to run a device on incompatible voltage results in damage.
Does 240 volt have a neutral wire?
Yes <<>> In North America, a three wire 120/240 volt system uses a neutral wire. For 240 volts two "hot" wires are used with no neutral.
Does 120 to 240 volt equal 20 amps?
no
Is France 110 volt or 220 volt?
France uses 220-240 volts for their electrical system.
Can you plug in a 240 volt equipment into 110 volt electric socket?
No, it won't get enough power and won't work.
Will a 240 volt string of Christmas lights work on a 110 volt socket?
Yes, but the lamp output wattage will be a quarter of what it is at 240 volts.power = voltage squared / resistance
How do you convert your 110 volt neon sign to run off 240 volt UK socket?
What you will need is a 240 to 120 step down transformer. An adapter might work but it depends on what the current draw of the neon sign is at 120 volts.
Can you get a plug for a 240 V single phase electrical line in your apartment?
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.Yes, but the appliance must be rated for that configuration.Further comment and answerMany people call socket outlets "plugs" so what the asker actually wants to know might really be:"Can you get a socket outlet for a 240 V single phase electrical line in your apartment?"To get a 240 volt socket outlet you will have to get a new 240 volt branch circuit installed.The new circuit's wiring must start from your home's main breaker panel and must have the right type of 240 volt socket outlet to suit the 240 volt appliance you want to use, such as a washing machine, dryer, air conditioner unit, etc.The new circuit must have the right size breakers and cable to match the current draw of the 240 volt appliance and the new socket outlet must be sited close to the 240 volt appliance.For more information see the answers to the Related Questions shown below.As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
Can you use 230 volt appliance in a 240 volt plug socket?
230 v appliances are made to work over a range of voltages and this includes 240 v. Usually the supply voltage can vary + or - 6% and the equipment must be designed for that. In the UK the nominal voltage is 230 v with a tolerance of -6% +10% because many or most of the outlets work at 240 v in practice.
Can you plug 120 vac to 240 watts?
'Voltage' is electromotive force, and the 'Watt' is a unit of power. You can plug a 240 watt appliance (light, toy, radio etc) into a 120 volt socket as long as the appliance is rated for 120 volt AC operation.
What is more efficient to run a pool pump on 120 Volt or 240 Volt?
240
Can you convert 110 volt to 240 volt?
Yes
Can a 250 volt fuse be used in a 240 volt air conditioner unit and how are they properly installed?
A fuse rated for 250 v is fine for 240 v. The fuse might be a cartridge fuse, so it must fit the available socket, or it might be fuse wire that has to be fitted in the holder correctly.
How do you know if you have a 240 power supply or 120 power supply?
Some countries (Europe, Japan) use 120 volt systems. Australia uses 240 volt. One way of find out what voltage is used is to have a look at the pins on the appliances in the same area. 120 volt has round pins on the plug socket. 240 volt systems have 3 flat blades with rounded ends set at 30 degrees to each other around the centre of the socket If you are in the US and have a residential 120/240 volt system and want to know if you should use 120 to ground or 240 volts phase to phase. You should check the voltage rating of the equipment you are wanting to use. Never exceed the voltage rating.
How many volt is the wall socket in Mumbai India?
Electric supply in India is 240 Volts alternating at 50 cycles per second.You will require a voltage converter if you are carrying a device that does not accept 240 Volts at 50 Hertz.
What does volts mean on a light bulb?
Electricity in your house or anywhere else comes in volts. When you screw in a light bulb, you screw it in to an electrical socket that has a certain number of volts. The socket can have 3 volts like a flash light, 12 volts like a car, 120 volts like American houses, or 240 volts like some Latin American houses. The light bulb is designed to work with one of those voltages. If you put a 240 volt bulb in a 120 volt socket, it will glow extremely dim. If you put a 120 volt light bulb in a 240 volt socket, it will glow extremely bright, but it will burn out in a short period of time. So you should put a 120 volt bulb in a 120 volt socket. In the United States, you will not have that trouble. However, if you take your yacht to a foreign country, you might put your light bulb in the wrong socket.Another AnswerA lamp will only operate at its rated power when subject to its rated voltage. So, if you want your lamp to operate at its rated power, you must connect it to a supply which provides its rated voltage
