What else can I help you with?
Can you use a none dedicated outlet for a space heater for a short period of time?
Yes, a space heater can be plugged into any outlet. Depending on what else is drawing current on the circuit will govern whether the circuit will trip or not. If the heater is plugged in and the circuit does not trip it can be left plugged as long as it is needed. If the heater trips after a few seconds, then try another outlet.
A 60 Watt appliance is plugged into a 120 Volt AC outlet How much current is the appliance drawing when it is turned on?
Amps (current) times volts = watts. so watts divided by volts = current (Amps). i.e.- 0.5 Amps.
Will it hurt a 220 motor plugged into 110 outlet?
No, a 220V motor plugged into a 110V outlet will not work properly. It may not run at all or could be damaged due to insufficient voltage. It's important to match the voltage requirements of the motor with the outlet for safe operation.
How much current is drawn when an appliance rated at 795 W is plugged into a 120 V wall outlet?
To find the current drawn, use the formula: Current (I) = Power (P) / Voltage (V). Plugging in the values, I = 795 W / 120 V = 6.625 A. Therefore, the appliance draws approximately 6.625 A of current when plugged into a 120 V outlet.
How is there electricity and magnetism in a computer?
It is plugged into a wall outlet.

What is the current in the hair dryer if it is plugged into a Outlet?
The current in a hair dryer plugged into an outlet in the US (120V) is typically around 10-12.5 Amps. In Europe (230V), it would be around 5-6 Amps.
What type of energy does an outlet have?
An outlet typically provides electrical energy in the form of alternating current (AC) that powers electronic devices when plugged in.
What causes too much current in a 220 outlet?
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.
What are the specific electrical requirements for a device that needs to be plugged into a 10-30R outlet?
A device that needs to be plugged into a 10-30R outlet requires a 240-volt electrical supply with a maximum current rating of 30 amps.
Is it good to have an octopus connection?
Generally, no. We usually try to avoid having a lot of things plugged into one outlet, which is the usual meaning of "octopus connection" when we talk about things electrical. If we get a lot of stuff plugged into one outlet or a single outlet strip, we could approach (or exceed) the current rating on the outlet and end up tripping a circuit breaker. Less things plugged in is better.
Could you show me an electrical drawing of a circuit with GFCI protecting a switch?
GFCI's are not used to protect a switch they are used to protect an outlet where something is plugged in.

What temperature is hot for a 20 amp plug?
If you are asking this question I assume that the outlet/plug is hot enough to be noticeable and it is likely a problem you should address immediately. As a start remove the plug from outlet and see if the outlet is still hot. If so, turn off the breaker controlling the outlet. Remove outlet from box and see if there is evidence of a burned or loose wire. If there are no obvious problems and the outlet is still hot with nothing plugged in, call an electrician; or if you know how replace the outlet with a 20 amp outlet. Otherwise it could be a faulty plug which you should replace. The only other thing that might be wrong is a faulty breaker that isn't tripping on an over current condition and the connected device is drawing too much current.
What is unidirectional current controller device?
A unidirectional current controller device is a type of electrical on/off switch. In order for an item to work that is plugged into a particular outlet, the switch must be in the on position. It is like having lamps plugged into outlets that are controlled by only one switch.
