What is power available from 110 VAC outlet?

Any where from 110 volts to 130 volts alternating current is available from a 110 VAC outlet.


How do you wire a 3 wire exhaust fan to a 4 wire outlet?

The fan is probably a 115 VAC single phase fan and the outlet is probably a 230 VAC "two phase" outlet. The fan would then have the following wires: hot (black), neutral (white), and ground (green). The outlet would then have the following wires: hot #1 (black), hot #2 (red), neutral (white), and ground (green). Pick either of the two hot wires on the outlet and connect the hot wire of the fan to that (ignore the other hot wire on the outlet) and connect the neutral to neutral and ground to ground. If the wire colors are not as I described above you may have something else (e.g. 3-phase) and that would be wired differently, but those systems are usually used only in industrial settings not the home.


How do you add an extra 220v outlet to a 220v line?

Typically you need 4 conductors. The hot wires are usually red and black. The neutral is white and the ground is green. If you put a volt meter across red and black you'll get 220 VAC. If between neutral and either hot 110 VAC.


How do you convert 24 vac to 5 vac?

You can convert 24 vac to 5 vac with a transformer with windings in the turns ratio of 24 to 5.


When you say an outlet 220v 30a what does it means?

This is a special purpose outlet, likely for a dryer. Normally in a house electric panel you have 120 VAC as the normal and 220 or 240 as a higher voltage. The 30 A is for 30 Amps. You can only plug in an appliance that has those ratings. You can't plug in a 120 V device.

What is a 210 vac plug in?

This a electrical plug that is designed to be used with 210 volts of alternating current(The power in your house). Most of the time you will not be able to find a 210 vac outlet. the good new is when they are designed, there is an allowance of + or - 10% so they can be run almost anywhere in the world. So you are safe from 191 volts to 231 volts.

Is 108 volts normal on a outlet?

Like anything in life....It all depends. The factors that determine the voltage at an outlet are generally two fold: 1) how far the outlet is from the mains entrance of a house and 2) how much power is being drawn on the circuit the outlet is on. Higher current(power) will reduce the voltage at the end of a circuit. Basic Ohms law. 108 volts does seem to be significantly lower than normal. Typical house voltages are 120 vac and with some drops allows it might be a few volts lower. It also depends on how far the transformer is from your house. It is possible that the transformer has a significant load on it(e.g. drawing more power than it is designed for) and that will have an effect on the final voltage. You should measure other outlets to see if they are similar in voltage. If so, it is most likely the supplier. Just one other thing to check is another meter. Could it be that your meter is faulty(e.g. needs a battery replaced)? Also, it depends on the country that you are in. US voltages are typically 120 vac or 240 vac for general home use. Industrial use will generally be 277 vac and higher ranging up to 480 vac for mid sized installations. These are generally 3 phase versus single phase for home use. In some cases homes will use what is called 2 phase. In general all voltages delivered to homes are measured from "Neutral" to line. This translates into 120 vac. If there is a transformer that has 2 phase capability on the distribution pole they generally bring in another phase which is 180 degrees out of phase with the original 120 volts and thereby making it 240 volts phase to phase. Europe(in general) uses 230 vac but last I heard is being standardized to 240 vac. Some countries, such as Japan use 100/200 vac as standard home voltages.


What is the ratio of a 480vac single phase and a 120 vac secondary voltage?

The ratio for a 480 VAC to 120 VAC is 4 to 1.


How do you change your wet dry shop vac from dry to wet?

Removing the filter from your wet / Dry vac makes it a wet vac. Only vacuum water with a wet/dry rated vac. If you use a regular vac you might ruin the vac or electrocute yourself.


Can you plug in a 125 volt 30 amp plug in a 120 volt 30 amp outlet?

If the plug fits you are good to go. The typical range of residential voltage is from 110 to 125 VAC. You are fine within this range.
