Operating the thermostats and usually near the water heater or electric panel
Originally it would have been a 6 volt system.
If your 1949 truck is a CHEVY or GMC and it still has the original electrical system, it would be 6 volt, negative ground. If it is a Dodge or a Ford with the oringinal electrical system it would be 6 volt, positive ground.
Yes a 220 volt light bulb will run on a 120 volt circuit but at 1/4 of the wattage that the light bulb is rated at. A 100 watt light bulb on 220 would would be equal to a 25 watt light bult on 120 volt system.
No
If that 1940 Chrysler is in original condition, it would have a 6 volt system. Originally, it was a 6-volt. However, many people convert them to 12-volt systems for convenience purposes.
Yes, when converting from a 6-volt system to a 12-volt system in a vehicle, you typically need to replace the coil with one that is compatible with 12 volts. This is because a coil designed for a 6-volt system may not be able to handle the higher voltage and could lead to issues with the ignition system.
No. Is a 6 volt system.
Can I run 480 volt , 60 HZ motor at a 380 volt , 60 Hz system?
The 1964 VW Beetle came from the factory with a 6 volt electrical system. Unless it has been upgraded to a 12 volt system you would need a 6 volt battery. I would recommend you check the voltage of the current battery with a volt meter. If there is no battery in the vehicle, just remove a light bulb and check the voltage written on the bulb.
On would use a 12 volt battery for a lot of things. For example, a lot of Fisher Price toys and games, power wheels vehicles have a type of 12 volt system.
1967 was the first year for the 12 volt system in the VW's.
If you jump a car or other vehicle with a 6 volt electrical system using a 12 volt battery, you can blow out the 6 volt battery. When they are connected, it usually only takes a fraction of a second to start the six volt system. There should be a person ready to start the 6 volt system immediately if not sooner so the 12 volt system can be disconnected immediately before the battery overheats and burns out.
