I think you mean volts given the numbers you specify. To determine which costs more to run you need to multiply Volts x Amps. The circuit with the higher value will cost more to operate.

Does 220 amp service use more power than 110 amp?
No, they only use the power drawn from the service. The fact that is is 220 amp or 110 amp makes no difference. It is the load that is applied that determines the amount used.
Would a 220 amp air condtioner cool better than a 110 amp?
Definately.it is an energy efficient and cools double a 110.Also used for major appliances like,driers and electric ovens
Can a guitar amp purchased in US be used in Europe?
Yes, but you need to use a special 220 to 110 volts adapter.
How do you wire a 220v dryer to run on 110?
You can't. A 220 volt dryer requires 220 volts in order to operate properly. It will not run on 110 volts.
Can you use a neutral wire from a existing 110 volt 20 amp circuit to supply a neutral for a washer dryer combo that has only a 220 volt 30 amp 2 wire?
No !
How do you split up a 240 volt outlet for 110 power?
A 220 outlet will have one neutral (white) and two hots (black and red normally) just use the neutral and just one of the two hot wires. Careful where you do this because normal 110 breakers are 15 or 20 amp and normally 220 breakers tend to be either 30 amp for a dryer or 50 amp for a stove.
Which one is more cost effective run 110 volts or 220 volts swimming pool pump?
Whenever you have the electric available to do so, always choose the higher voltage. Reason being if you look at the spec plate on the motor you will see that the amp draw is significantly less when wired for 220. In some cases depending on the horsepower and the brand the difference can be as much as half. Lower amp draw equates to a cheaper operating cost.
A 1.5 hp electric motors uses how much electricity?
it is as simple as this know your volt (110, 220 ..) know your amp from the manufacture sticker usually on the back of the motor and your load in watts = volt x amp so if you are using a 1.5 hp motor that is amp rated = 7.0 at 220 v then your watt = 220 x7 = 1540 watt = 1.54 kw hope that will help http://sawdustmaking.com/ELECTRIC%20MOTORS/electricmotors.html thanks
Can you convert a 220 welding machine to a 110 welding machine?
Probably not. Some machines can be connected to a variety of voltage situations, most can not. An electrician could tell you if your machine is one of these. WHAT I HAVE IS A 220 VOLT 100 AMP SPEEDWAY SERIES. ITS LIKE THE MACHINE DOESNT WANT TO HOT ENOUGH. TRANSFORMER HAS DOUBLE MOVABLE CORE. You need a 110 to 220 volt transformer capable of providing at least 100 amperes on the 220 side. This transformer will pull more than 200 amperes from the 110 outlet. You may need an electrician to rewire your breaker panel and service connection.
Can you replace a 90 amp alternator with a 110 amp alternator?
yes you will get more amp cranks out of it and for dodge ram wont do anything bad but good for your truck
How do you hook a 220 volt treadmill to a 110 volt wall socket?
A 220 volt treadmill will not run on 110 volt power. if you would wire it to plug in, the low voltage would causes the treadmill to burn up. You will need to install a 220 volt receptacle for it to plug into and work properly. <<>> In the above answer the treadmill will not burn up but at these amperages it will make a very big flash if it shorted out. Also it must be some treadmill to draw 220 amps and I have never seen a 110 amp wall socket.
Can you use a 110 to 220 voltage converter on a welding machine?
Generally, no. Some welding machines are designed to run on 110 volts and they are able to weld using limited power. However, a welding machine that is design to run on 220 volts requires more power than can safely be provided by a typical 110 outlet (even if a converter is used). Here's why:110 Outlets typically only have #12 (or even #14) gauge wire, which can only support so much power before becoming dangerously hot.110 Outlets also typically tie into a 15 or 20 amp breaker (or fuse) at the panel, and if more amperage is used, the breaker will trip.Most 220 volt welding machines require a 220 volt outlet that is fed with either #8 or #6 gauge wire, and ties into the panel with a 2 pole breaker rated for at least 30 amps.
