NO because THIS IS NOT SAFE!
<><><>
If the 240 Volt range outlet is no longer supplying power to any range or kitchen stove, then it might be possible, but only a licensed electrician can check if it is safe to do so and, to avoid serious fire hazard, tell you what changes would have to be made to the breakers supplying the present range circuit on your main supply panel.
<><><>
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.
If you do this work yourself, always turn off the power
at the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work
AND
always use a meter or voltage indicator
to insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.
IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOB
SAFELY AND COMPETENTLY
REFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.

Ummm yes ? If your talking about a wall outlet yes you can have 120v dc but not at an outlet
You should have no problem as long as the pug fits into the outlet. Common house hold voltages range up to 120V.
Electric Fireplaces are simple to start. Plug them into a standard 120v household outlet and press the power button on the unit; or on the remote control.
No you cannot plug a 100v into a 120v outlet, it will fry whatever the product you are plugging up.
They are called Electric Fireplaces. They come in many styles, colors and designs. They can be either plugged into a standard 120v outlet or hardwired to the home at 270v.
In the US on an 120v 15a outlet it's the short slot
Yes, assuming the wall outlet produces 120V 60 Hz at at least 4 watts.
No, unless it's a gas range. An electric range requires 240V and 40A while a small appliance will be 120V and Max 15A.
Yes, no problem at all.
You will burn up your appliance!!!!!
Yes. It's functionally the same.
yes ofcourse they both are the same
If you need to ask, you should have someone who knows how do it....
In the US, standard household receptacles are 120V, but historically they used to be called 110V. So the two are the same thing - at least in the US. Depending on the age of the electrical device the nameplate may say: 110v 115v 117v 120v and they all are referring to a standard household receptacle.
No, different pin configurations.
yes. but DO NOT do it the other way.
Off hand no but your explanations are not clear as to who is doing what to whom,,
If the 220V circuit is dedicated, is to derate the circuit to a dedicated 110V outlet. Replace the 220V breaker with a 110V breaker and install a 110V outlet in place of the 220V outlet. If the original circuit was 20A or greater go with a 20A breaker and a 20A outlet as Airconditioners are fairly large loads. Do not exceed the current rating of the old circuit as that is all the current the existing wiring can handle.
Yes, as long as the device is within 10% of the rated voltage.
Yes, but you will only get one quarter of the wattage from the heater.
The black wire is hot and the white wire is neutral.
120V, but 20A, so not a regular outlet or wire.
In the US, both 120v and 240v will be needed for your home, as different appliances need different voltages. Your TV needs 120V, while your electric dryer and stove will need a 120V/240V supply. If you have an electric water heater, or central AC unit, they will need a 240V supply.
I assume its 120V already: so, yes, you'll have to wire for a 240V receptacle (240V uses 1 more current carrying wire than 120V). Even if there were enough wires at 120V you'd still need a larger size wire for the combo unit. An electric dryer is a beast with electrical current.
"As far as charging the Toyota Camry Hybrid, you can plug it into any one of the standard 120V plugs.So as long as it can surge a 120V plug, then it can be used."
