(A) Dwelling Units. All 125-volt, single-phase, 15- and 20-ampere receptacles installed in the locations specified in (1) through (8) shall have ground-fault circuit-interrupter protection for personnel. (6) Kitchens - where the receptacles are installed to serve the countertop surfaces.
What happens when 110 volt airbrush compresor TC 196 is plugged into a 240 volt source?
First, someone would have changed the plug before that would be possible. 240 Volt receptacles do not accept 120 Volt plugs. Second, IF someone changed the plug on the compressor, then plugged it in using both legs of the 240 Volt circuit, the compressor motor would self destruct instantly; internal wiring would burn and you would smell the burning insulation.
How long does current remain in a 220 volt circuit?
