Are you referring to a meter?.... if so, set it to the closest higher voltage on the meter (usually 600VAC but sometimes 300VAC depending on the brand and model)

What voltage should you set your computer in the us?

In the U.S. you should be using 110-115V.


At what voltage should hair dryers be set?

The voltage for anything should match the supply voltage.


What range should the voltmeter be set prior to taking a voltage measurement?

If the voltage is completely unknown, a voltmeter should be set to the maximum range first, then stepped down to an accurate level.


What range should you set the voltmeter prior to taking a voltage measurement?

Make a guess of what the voltage will be and set the range accordingly. If needed, change the range after measuring the voltage, to get a better reading.


How do you test 220 volts using a volt meter?

Make sure that the test meter is on the correct voltage scale. Place one lead on one of the conductors to be tested and the other lead on the other voltage source conductor. The reading you obtain will be the voltage potential between the two conductors.

Would 220 v mobile phone charger work in 110v?

A charger designed to run on 220 volts only will not operate on 110 volt supplies but single voltage chargers are rare. The majority of chargers will accept any AC voltage from around 100 volts up to 250 volts. To find out, take a look at the information panel on the charger. On the panel there will be a voltage rating as well as other data. The voltage is likely to say something like "Input - 100-250 VAC". As long as the voltage available is within the upper and lower limits, the charger should work. You will probably need an adaptor to plug it into the local mains outlets but once you have that, you should be set.

How do you set up a PC in France?

On the power supply of your PC change the voltage from 110 to 220. You then need to have a European power cable, and plug it in like you would in the states. Everything else is exactly the same.


Does the back of the power supply have a switch that can be set for 220 volts?

Depending on the type of power supply you use. Heavy inear power supplies use a transformer that converts mains power to a lower voltage. They sometimes have a voltage selector switch that puts the two primary windings in series for 220 volts AC or in parallel for 120volts AC If it doesn't have a switch that controls the input voltage it might be a newer switch mode power supply that can automatically adjust for differing voltage inputs in different countries. The label should then say 80-240 volts AC input and say 12volts DC output. This can be plugged in straight away. Moving from the States to Europe requires you to get a voltage coverter of the right wattage from Tandy or CPC.co.uk.


When measuring an unknown value of voltage the meter should be initially set to?

With an unknown voltage you should start out with the highest voltage setting on the meter. Doing this reduces the risk of "pegging" out the needle on an analog gauge or overloading the input of a DMM. Most DMM's are auto-ranging though.
