How 240 VAC achieved in a 120 VAC environment North America home?
By connecting two separate 120 VAC legs into one. If they are and if it comes to your home from a local utility they will be, it will add to 240. Whenever combining AC or Sine waves into one for the purpose of adding they must be in phase.
What is the use of 240 three phase delta?
240 volt delta systems were used a lot in automotive garages and small manufacturing facilities. This system works great for motor loads because of the phase to phase voltage of 240 vac, motors run better (lots of motors were manufactured to operate on 240 only) on the higher voltage compared to 208 vac. Also the availability of 120 vac on the same system was a plus, however on a delta system you have one phase with a higher voltage to ground (high leg) usually about 190 vac. You have to be careful not to use this phase in certain applications.
What size wire should you use for a device operating on 240 VAC pulling 22 amps?
wire is often rated at 600 vac, 22 amps reqires # 10
What kind of battery does a washing machine use?
It does not use one, it uses 240 VAC, depending on the model.
Can a 220 VAC breaker be single pole or does it have to always be a double pole breaker?
U.S. 240 VAC breakers are always double pole since they are protecting two legs of the circuit.

Is an airconditioning unit labeled to run on 208 vac to 230 vac ok to run on 240 vac?
yes, UL listing requires them to work with tolerance of 10% over equipment voltage

Can a chandelier made in Spain be used on English electricity?
Yes - both are 220-240 Vac

What is the voltage AC recommended for home use?
In the United States, 110-120/240 VAC is the standard.
Why do you use 240 volt supply in the UK?
They don't. The UK uses 230 VAC 50 Hz.

What is is the minimum operating voltage for a different types of lamps rated 240 VAC?
If they are listed as needing 240 Volts AC then you need to give them 240 Volts AC. You give them anything less and they won't work.
In your home your stove and your electric clotes dryer usually run on how many volts?
Usually 220 to 240 VAC.
What will happen if you use a 220 240 VAc 50Hz iron to 220 240 AC 60Hz?
It should work with no problems, since the frequency does not affect the work or the iron heater.
