Why is it that the outlet shows 209 volts instead of 120 volts?
Because it is a 220 volt outlet instead of a 120 volt outlet. Now, if this is a standard 120 volt outlet that is reading 209 volts then someone has made a mistake in the wiring. You need to call an electrician to straighten this out.
What is a 210 volt outlet?
A 210 volt outlet is an outlet that can provide power for an appliance that is up to 210 volts. Some examples of these could be dishwashers, washing machines, and dryers.
30 amps on a 250 volt outlet can handle how many watts?
A 30 amp circuit on a 250 volt service could handle up to 7500 watts. That's if it's actually 250 volts coming in. You should check that with your meter.
Can one leg of a 240 volt circuit be capped and the circuit breaker changed to make an existing 240 volt outlet into a 120 volt outlet?
Yes, you can always have heavier wire than code requires.
What color of wires are found on a 120 volt duplex poutlet?
A 120 volt duplex outlet is the main type of outlet for residential outlet system. The wires are typically white and black, and there should only be two of them.
Which is the correct voltage division setting for testing a throttle position sensor?
Volt meter should be in a 5 volt scale.
How do you know if a crank position sensor is bad?
You will have a no spark situation. Testing it with a volt meter is easy. Twist the crank shaft slowly by hand and watch volt meter. If there is voltage and no voltage the sensor is good. No readings sensor is bad
Can you convert an old 15 amp 125 volt electrical outlet to a household electrical outlet?
A 15 amp 125 volt outlet is a household outlet.
How do you check for 240v at the outlet?
with a voltage tester or meter that has a rating higher than what you are expecting to find Most testers / meters are rated 600 volt
How do you measure voltage directly from the wall outlet?
"With a volt meter." That last answer could be improved a bit as measured by my dolt meter. One uses a volt meter to measure a 220 outlet by setting it to 'Voltage' or a symbol that looks like a 'V' with a tilde over or beside it for AC. Set the voltage range to 200 or 600 or something close. Put one lead in a socket on the volt meter that probably says 'COM', and put the other in the 'V' socket on the meter. You should read zeroes whether the leads are touching or not. There will be (probably) 3 or 4 outlet socket holes. If 3, two will look slanted and the third will either be straight or have an 'L' shape to it. The L or straight socket is your ground/common socket. The two slanted sockets are your hot sockets. Putting a lead in each of the slanted sockets (being careful to hold the leads by the non-metalic part) should yield your reading, about 220-240.
Can you plug in 110 volt appliance into a 125 volt outlet?

What side of a 12v power outlet is positive?
Not enough info. The only "12 volt outlet" that is remotely standard is the lighter socket in a car. Most if not all cars have the negative side of the battery at ground, which is the outer shell of a lighter socket. So the center contact is positive. If you are asking about any other 12 volt outlet, you need to check it out with a meter, or get a diagram for the system.
What equipment is needed for testing electrical current?
For measuring electrical Current the electrical equipment used is Amphere meter. This equipment tells the current flow in the equipment.
Can you plug In a 220 volt to a 110 outlet?
no
What happens when a 110 volt breast pump is plugged in 220 volt outlet?
