The fuse is what restricts how much current you can draw from an outlet. If you have the wrong fuse you can draw more power than intended from an outlet - but only if the appliance plugged in can use it up.
To get too much power out of an outlet, with a suitable appliance plugged in, then you also have to have a higher voltage in the outlet. And for that to happen, something has to be seriously wrong higher upp in the supply chain.

240V to a standard outlet?
What is your question? A standard outlet is 110V. A 220 outlet is shaped different so that you know it is 220. You would never run 220 through a 110 outlet.
If you plug a toaster rated at 110-v into a 220-v outlet current in the toaster will be?
hi woo
Will it hurt a 220 motor plugged into 110 outlet?
This is a really bad idea. The current will double and bad things can happen.
Why does a clothes dryer requires a 220 volt outlet while a toaster only requires a 110 volt outlet?
Because a toaster does not pull near the current that a cloths dryer does.
Why does a clothes dryer require a 220 volt outlet while a toaster only requires a 110 volt outlet?
Because a toaster does not pull near the current that a cloths dryer does.
What is the electricity that commonly comes from a wall outlet?
Alternating current. 120 volt in North America, 220 volt in the rest of the world.
Can you plug In a 220 volt to a 110 outlet?
no
Can i get 220 volt out of 120volt outlet?
No. It would have to be wired for 220 volts and would have to be rated for 220 volts and would have a different configuration so that a typical 120 v plug wouldn't fit the outlet.
Is there a n adapter for a 220 volt outlet?
yes
Will a 220 outlet run your 230 welder?
Any device is designed most likely with some limitation of +-% A 10v is nothing to worry about however the current is something to worry about
Can you plug a 240V amplifier into a 220 volt outlet?
Yes.
If you plug an electric toaster rated at 110-v into a 220-v outlet what will the outlet current in the toaster be?
It doesnt matter you will smoke it. The current in a resistive circuit is proportional to the voltage. If the voltage doubles and the resistance is the same (elements) the current will double and burn up both the elements and the toaster wiring. Look up "ohms law" for current voltage and resistance effects. Don't try it..
