Read the label on the air compressor or its User Manual. Find what power it takes in Watts and divide the power by the Voltage (240 volts in this case.) The result is the basic current drawn in amps. But that is not enough information to decide what size circuit breakers and wiring should be installed. The answer will depend on length of cable run required from breaker panel to wall outlet and the Wiring Codes or Regulations for your locality. (Town/State.) If you don't know how to calculate these, call a licensed electrican to advise you or do job for you. IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOB
SAFELY AND COMPETENTLY
REFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS. 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.

How calculate kilovolt-ampere?
25kv=?kwAnswerA volt ampere (V.A) is the unit of apparent power, and applies to AC circuits that contain resistance and reactance. Apparent power is the vector sum of true power and reactive power. A kilovolt ampere is 1000 V.A. The volt ampere is the product of supply voltage and load current.
Will a switching power supply work on 277 volts?
Not unless it is rated for that voltage. You can likely find a step down transformer from 277 volt sto 120 volts.
Can you supply three 220 -240 volt 16.6 amp infrared heaters with one circuit?
Can you supply three 220 -240 volt 16.6 amp infrared heaters with one circuit?
How can convert active power to reactive power and apparent power too?
'Active' power describes the rate at which energy is delivered to a load and is permanently lost, and is expressed in watts. 'Reactive' power describes the rate at which energy is alternately stored within a magnetic or electric field and returned to the supply every quarter-cycle, and is expressed in reactive volt amperes.You cannot 'convert' one to the other.'Apparent' power is the vectorial sum of active power and reactive power, and is expressed in volt amperes.
Can you run 220 volt motor compressor a 380 volt supply using power inverter?
No 380 volts is too wide a spread to use a 220 volt motor on.
Would a 125 volt cord work with a 115 volt compressor?
Yes. The cord only transmits the power. Whatever that goes in is what comes out.
You have 240v and you need to convert to 230v for an air compressor?
Yes, you can use a 230 volt device on a 240 volt supply.
Can you replace a 5 volt power supply with a 10 volt power supply?
If the power supply has a 5 volt tap on the secondary side of the transformer, yes. If there is no tap and the secondary side of the power supply is only 10 volts then no, you can not substitute the higher voltage unit.
What type of ac adapter does the ACDelco Jumpstart Compressor System portable power supply 59-255U require?
12 volt dc current output

Can you plug in a 110 volt tool straight into a 240 volt power supply?
no
where to find power converters for my laptop and my small compressor?
A 220 volt to 110 volt power converter suitable for this application is available through Amazon.com
What is the amount of power consumed by a 60 watt 220 volt lamp when it is connected across 110 volt supply?

Can you use a 10 volt power supply for a 9 volt keyboard?
Using a 10 volt power supply for a 9 volt keyboard is not a good idea. The higher voltage will cause damage to the keyboard, burning it out and making it useless.
9 volt power supply in place of a 10 volt?
Probably ok if the new supply can produce the required amount of current in amps.
