How do you plug a 120V appliance into an outlet wired for a 240V?
you get an adapter
What happens if you plug a 120V appliance into a 240V outlet?
You will burn up your appliance!!!!!
If you have a 240V 22A welder which has a plug similar but smaller than a dryer plug can you use this in a 120V outlet?
NO!
Can you plug a 120v 20 amp wielder into a 240v 40 amp outlet?
Absoluteyl not.
If you put a 60W 120V bulb in a 120V lamp that has a transformer for 240V and plug it into a 240V outlet will it work or blow the circuitry?
Off hand no but your explanations are not clear as to who is doing what to whom,,
If you put a 240V bulb in a 120V lamp that has no transformer and plug it into a 240V outlet will it work or blow the circuitry?
Not only will it work, but it will last for much longer than if it was connected to 220volts!
Can you plug in a 100v plug into 120v outlet?
No you cannot plug a 100v into a 120v outlet, it will fry whatever the product you are plugging up.
Can you properly change a 3-prong 240V outlet looks like standard plug but horizontal to the NEMA twistlock 20A style if they use a different number of wires extra ground neutral on a twistlock type?
No. You can't replace a 220V outlet with a 110/220V outlet without running the requisite neutral wire. If you do you will blow out any device that expects the neutral line to be connected.
Can you convert an existing 120V plug on an appliance to a 240V plug not speaking of a converter but actually changing the plug so there are no long term effects on the appliance?
If I understand your question, Can you run a 110 appliance off of a 220 volt outlet? You could by only using one leg of the 220. You may also consider changing the outlet. Put in a regular 110 outlet and capping off one leg of the 220 in the wall box. You still have a neutral and a ground to work with. I read this as the questioner doesn't want to modify the outlet. Check the voltage ratings on the device. Many electronic devices nowadays can havdle 120V or 240V as it is cheaper to manufacture one powersupply and sell it everywhere. If your device is rated for 240V, you can put a 240V plug on it. If it only says 120V, no dice. 240V will burn it up.
Can you plug a 240v rated motor in a 230v 0utlet?
Yes, you can plug a 240v motor into a 230v outlet.
How do you plug a 240V appliance into an outlet wired for a 120V?
You don't. The plug (cap) has a different configuration between the two voltages. This is to prevent plugging a device of one voltage into a supply of a different voltage.
How do you rewire a 120V lamp to a 240V?
If your trying to plug in a 110 Volt lamp into 240 volt outlet the answer is simple. You must buy a step down transformer, or your lamp will burn out.
