What happens when a 2A 220 volt appliance is plugged into a 110 volt?
Not much of anything. The 220 volt appliance needs just that ... 220 volts in order to run. If it runs at all, it certainly would not be running at anywhere near peak efficiency.
You observe a small plaque on an electrical appliance that reads in part 115 volts AC 60 Hz This means that the appliance?
That the appliance does not need a electrical transformer and uses the US standards for electricity off the grid.
How many watts does a 16 amp appliance draw at 115 volts?
1840
Can you charge 230 volts appliances with 130 volts?
No, you will need to obtain an adapter to change the 120 volts to 230 volts. The adapter must be sized to the load wattage of the 230 volt appliance. To find the load wattage multiply the amperage times the voltage of the appliance. Once this is assessed, the size of the adapter or transformer will be of equal or greater value than that of the connected appliance. The adapter will be rated in VA or KVA depending on the needed load amperage.
A 60 Watt appliance is plugged into a 120 Volt AC outlet How much current is the appliance drawing when it is turned on?
Amps (current) times volts = watts. so watts divided by volts = current (Amps). i.e.- 0.5 Amps.
Can you run appliances off 220 volts?
Yes, if the appliance was designed to run on 210 to 240 volts.

Can a 120 volt appliance run on a 110 volt circuit?
Yes. Circuits in a home are 120 volts but people tend to call them 110 volt circuits. The 120 volts you read on the appliance is the maximum voltage the appliance can handle. The actual voltage you will read at any outlet will range from 110 to 120 volts.

Can you use 265 volt appliance on a 220 volt line?
Yes, the 265 volts is just the maximum the appliance can handle. You can use it on a 240 volt circuit.
Can you use ac dc adapter of 12 volts and 2 amps for an appliance rated for 7.5 volts and 1.8 amps?
To use an adapter of this sort, its rated voltage must match the rated voltage of the appliance, and its rated current must exceed that of the appliance. So, in your example, the rated voltage is too high to be used with your appliance.
Is it safe to use 230 volts 50 hz appliances where power supply is 230 volts 60 hz?
If the appliance is strictly resistive heating there will be no problem. If the appliance has a motor load connected with it, the unit will operate a bit slower and operate a bit warmer.
