How do you upgrade household wiring from 110 volt to 220 volt?

Can you add a 110 outlet from one leg of the 220 wiring?

Yes but I would not advise it. Get 110 volts somewhere else.


How can you supply 220v machine to 208v supply?

Most 220 volt equipment will work on 208 volt supply. If the machine has a resistive load then the watts output will be lower than if supplied from a 220 volt source. If it is a motor load you will find that the equipment may run a bit slower but most motors will take the lower voltage. If the machine is a plug in device, install the appropriate receptacle to match the pin configuration and plug it in. If it is a hard wire installation this should be done by a qualified person.


Can you collect one 220 volt phase from a 380 volt three phase plug?

Answer for UK and countries running a 50 Hz supply service.The voltage potential of 380 volts is not common to North America.It will probably be difficult to tap into the plug to get the voltage.If you have a three phase 380 volt supply from a source then you can obtain a single phase voltage of 220 volts from it. 220/380 is a wye voltage connection. 380 divided by 1.73 will give you 220 volts. L1 - N = 220V, L2 - N =220V, L3 - N = 220V. L1 - L2 = 380, L2 - L3=380, L3 - L1 = 380.


How do you hook up a water heater with red black and white wires?

Sounds like it is a 220-240 Volt hot water heater. The black and red are connected to the 220 volts supply and the white is connected to Neutral. At the breaker panel red and black connect to the 2-pole 220 volt breaker and white goes to the neutral bus bar.

What is wrong if you changed a four prong to a three prong and the dryer is not heating?

My question is WHY did you replace a four prong dryer plug with a three prong! 220 volt Electric dryers require two hot legs, a neutral and a system ground wire. Sounds as though you shunted one of the hots or the neutral. You need to install a four prong plug of the same configuration and wire it exactly as the original.


How do you correctly wire a three blade 220 volt plug?

If you are in north America, black and red go to the main prongs and white to the ground (round prong) . Black and red can be on either main prong.

Where do you ground the extra wire when plugging a 4 prong wire into a three prong outlet for a dryer at?

It may be a 220 Dryer, and you will need a new outlet installed. There should be no extra wires when connecting the Power cord to the plug


What plug socket and voltage does South Africa have?

What is the configuration of 220 volt plug?

There are many different types of 220 Volt plug. Different plugs are used in different countries.Two pin plugs have two wires, live (brown) and neutral (blue).Three pin plugs have the two wires above, plus Earth (green/yellow).Rewireable plugs are labelled which wire goes where. The wiring colours are an international standard, unlike plugs.

220 Pressure washer with a 4 wire plug red black white green and want to change it to the 3 prong dryer plug?

I wouldn't advise it. Your pressure washer has a four conductor plug for a reason. It requires its two hot conductors providing 220 volts, a neutral which is likely being employed in a small circuit board or safety switch and an earth ground which is needed to provide path to ground for stray current and short circuit protection. Don't reinvent the wheel.
