What happens in a 220v HVAC unit when one of the 110v power lines drops?

The unit will stop operating as it needs 240 volts for the fan to operate. If it is the leg that is used for the control portion of the system, you will get no indication of power at all.

What causes a 220v wire to pull only 110v?
The fact that it's supposed to. Voltage is stated as the difference between the two wires carrying electricity to the load. When they bring power to the house from the utility, you get two wires carrying 110v but they're 180 degrees out of phase. Imagine one carries positive 110v and the other carries negative 110v. If you hook one of these wires plus a neutral (zero volts) to the load, you get 110v--110v over 0v. If you hook both of them to the load, you get positive 110v over negative 110v, or 220v. So...red to white is 110v, black to white is 110v, red to black is 220v.
Can you plug a power-bar on a 220V to 110V converter?
The power-bar must be plugged into the correct voltage it was designed for.
What happens if a 110V masseur is connected to 230V source?
May get damage due to high amperage.
An electric bulb is rated 220v and 100wWhen it is operated on 110v the power consumed will be what?
25w
How do you convert a 240v drill to 110v?
One word: KABOOM.
Why are power lines that travel long distances often run at high voltages?
The simple answer is that voltage drops over distance. To avoid this loss, power companies distribute electricity in kilovolts (kV). This is then stepped down to domestic voltage (220-240V in Europe, 110V in USA etc) at a local sub-station (basically a large transformer), before reaching your home.
How do you wire a 110v supply for 220v heaters?
A 220v heater has two 110v lines coming into it--either two 110v lines with a neutral, like a range, or two 110v lines with no neutral, like a water heater. Unless there's a fan in the system, they only use two wires. It's cheaper that way. If you have a DEDICATED circuit for each 220v heater--one where there's only one thing on the breaker--and you have at least 10/2 wire (unless the amps call for 8/2 or 6/2 wiring, which happens), you can install a two-pole breaker to feed 220v to the heater. If you're just trying to plug the heater into an outlet and get it to work, you've got a problem in that you can't pull 220v out of a 110v outlet no matter how hard you try. Sorry.

If I connect 110v xbox one to a 220v outlet what will burn will the power supply burn or will the Xbox one burn?
If you connect 110V xbox one to a 220V outlet, only the power supply will burn and not the Xbox one.

If you have a computer which start with 110v so by using converter can the computer starts with 220v?
Yes. If the computer power input is only rated for 110V input, you can power it from 220V by using a voltage converter from 220V to 110V with appropriate wattage. Some computer power supplies also have a switch for setting 110V/220V in which case computer can be powered from 220V after changing the setting. Most of the portable computers/laptops have power adapters which are rated for universal voltage (e.g. my Dell laptop AC adapter is rated for 100-240V 50-60Hz).
What is the power consumtion of a light bulb that is plugged into a 110v outlet and is drawing 0.727 amp or current?
Power is calculated from volts time amps. 110V x 0.727A is 79.97 watts. Note that power is not "consumed" but rather converted to other forms of energy such as light and heat.

No
