It will burn out violently, possibly exploding, sending broken glass everywhere.
It will burn due excess current .
It will overheat, probably even on no-load. It might blow the circuit breaker or start producing smoke.
The maximum voltage rating for equipment that can be safely operated with a power supply of 230 VAC is typically around 250 volts.
P=VI 60W = 110V x I I=0.54* A Hopefully in your house you are connected to 110 VAC and not DC. Same answer as above applies.
yes, UL listing requires them to work with tolerance of 10% over equipment voltage
The answer to this is country-specific. In the United States: Residential 120 VAC. Commercial also uses 277 VAC Elsewhere in the world: 220 volts to 260 volts, most frequently 230-240 volts AC.
They don't. The UK uses 230 VAC 50 Hz.
All other things being equal, an incandescent light should not "flicker" whether it is connected to 120 or 130 VAC.
Yes and no. Your electric panel has two bus bars. Each supplies 120 VAC. If you measure the voltage across these two buses you get 230-240 VAC. The buses are staggered top to bottom such that each breaker, top to bottom, alternates which of the buses they connect to. A 2-pole breaker would typically be use for 230-240 VAC service, but could be used for two 120 VAC circuits. However, in the latter case if either of the 120 VAC circuits tripped, both would trip. In the case of two single pole breakers, it would depend if they were connected to each bus or the same bus. However if used for a 230-240 VAC service you would want both to trip if either side tripped. This is done by joining together the handles of each breaker stacked on above the other in panel.
The transformer size is calculated by using the load current that is required on the secondary side of the transformer. This secondary current is multiplied by the secondary voltage times 1.73. This total is then divided by 1000 to give you KVA. KVA = I x E x 1.73/1000.
It varies from country to country. In the USA it is 110 volts, in the UK it 230 volts +/- 10%/6%. In practise in the UK it is 240s volt +/- 6%, the slightly odd looking specification allows harmonisation with rest of Europe. In all these cases, the mains voltage is supplied AC (alternating current) and the voltage is given as root mean square (RMS). The peak voltage in the UK is 384 volts.
Since power = voltage * current we have current=power/voltage so 3500 watts/230 volts = about 15.218 amperes in a heater using a resistance to generate heat. This should be valid even though the "230 vac" indicates that it is an AC circuit and not a DC circuit.
