Need to know what the amp rating of the plug is, as there are different configurations for each amperage. Check out the chart on related links.

Will splicing a 3 wire 240 volt compressor with a 4 wire 240 volt male end damage compressor motor?
It could if you don't get the terminals and motor wires on the correct terminals.
How do you connect a 240V electric cooktop with four wires to the 120V services from the electric panel which is 2 wires?
If your electrical service is only 120 volts you have a problem. There is no way that you can connect a 240 volt cook top to that service. You have two options, one is to upgrade to a new 120/240 volt electrical service. Your other option is to find a 120 volt electrical cook top.
Where does the white wire red wire and black wire run on hottub?
In the hot tub junction control box there should be three terminals. The terminal block might say line voltage. This is where the incoming "hot" wires connect. The red and black wires will probably be for the 240 volt pump motor and one of the two "hot" wires and the white wire will be used for the controls that control the pump.
How do you change a 220 240 volt wire to a 110 120 volt wire?
Wire is wire - is doesn't matter what voltage you use. However, if you are changing the voltage on a device from 240 to 120, given the same power requirement, you may need bigger wires for the doubled current (and increased heat of resistivity).
What are the wires on a Lincoln ac 225 welder there are 2 black and 1 green?
Check the nameplate on the welder, if the voltage that runs the welder is 240 volts then the two black wires connect to a 240 volt supply and the green wire connects to the ground of the supply.

Is it possible to hook up 120 Volt lights and plugs to a 240 Volt circuit?
European circuits need a transformer. North American circuits have 120/240 Volt supply. Using a neutral and one of the hot lines would work. To understand, think of two twelve volt batteries connected together in series. The voltage on the outside two terminals is 24 volts. The voltage from any outside terminal to the center is 12 Volts. With two wires from each of the outside terminals and one from the center, giving you the option of 24 Volt or 12 volt with three wires.
Does 240 volt have a neutral wire?
Yes <<>> In North America, a three wire 120/240 volt system uses a neutral wire. For 240 volts two "hot" wires are used with no neutral.
Can you use a 120 volt power bar with 240 volts power supply?
No, but check the specification on the power bar to see what its maximum voltage rating is. There will be a bit of cord end cutting to get the right configuration for 240 volt equipment.
How would you go about running an 240 volt outlet?
You will have to buy a 240 V breaker that fits in your electric panel. Look for brand of breaker. It will require two slots in the panel and the panel must support 240 V. You can usually tell by looking at the feed wires from the meter. There will be three thick wires and a ground. Usually Black and Red are the 240. The panel is designed so that every other slot is on a separate leg. There is 120 V between white and either black or red feed wires. A 240 V breaker is wider to bridge two bus bars. There will be two terminals on the breaker. there is 240 V across these terminals. Determine how much current you need and size the wire accordingly. You would need 10/3 + ground for a 30 A current.

What is more efficient to run a pool pump on 120 Volt or 240 Volt?
240

If the power cord says 250 volts can you plug it in to a 100 to 240 ac adaptor input socket?
Yes, the 250 volt rating refers to the insulation rating factor of the cord and the maximum amount of voltage potential that the cord can safely handle.
Can you convert 110 volt to 240 volt?
Yes
