By using a step down transformer.
+Its depends in what country you live. In the Uk its 240 volts, in most of Europe its 220 to 240. In the USA its 120.
yes 240volts is 240 volts
Center tapped transformers are used in North America to be able to use two voltages from the transformers secondary. It is known as a three wire system. Appliances circuits that utilize 240 volts and appliances that use 120 volts can be supplied from one transformer. The transformers secondary is center tapped and grounded. This allows the 240 volt winding L1 - L2 to produce 120 volts from one leg of the winding to ground L1 - N and the second half of the winding 120 volts from N - L2. <<>> Center tapped transformers are used anywhere world wide where ever they were designed to be used. There is nothing particular to a center tapped transformer that makes it more or less suitable for use in North America.
Watts = Amps x Volts. Amps = Watts/Volts. 10000/120 = 83.3 amps can be used at 120 volts. On a generator that large it is most likely that it also has the capacity to produce 240 volts. 10000/240 = 41.6 amps can be used at 240 volts. What you can connect to the generator will be totals of the amperage of devices that do not go above these amp ratings.
For the electricity at your home and where you work. Electricity goes through several step down transformers between the power plant and your home. The electrical lines on the street in front of homes carry voltages of several thousand volts. The transformer on the pole in front of most homes in the U.S. step the voltage down to a total of 240 volts between three wires, two "hots" and a "neutral". The voltage between the two hots is 240 volts, usually for large appliances.The voltage between one hot and the neutral is 120 Volts used for everything else. There are also transformers in most electronic devices such as T.V.s and computers. These transformers are made to step the voltage down from 120 volts to whatever the operation voltage of the device is. A cell phone charger has both a transformer and a rectifier. The transformer first steps the voltage down from 120 volts to a much lower voltage. Most cell phones now charge at 5 volts so they can be compatible with USB ports on computers, which uses 5 volts. The rectifier (and a filter circuit) then convert the 5 volts AC to 5 volts DC to charge the phone. Another interesting fact: DC voltage cannot pass through a transformer.
By using a step down transformer.
The transformer that feeds your house is a center tapped transformer. Primary 7200, Secondary 240. The 240 volt secondary is center tapped to give you 120 volts on either side of the tap. Hence house voltage is 120 / 240 volts.
No. 240 volts will more than likely fry your console. These things normally use something like 3 to 5 volts. That's what the big boxes (called transformers) on the plugs are for: to reduce the voltage to something more manageable.
Yes , with a step down transformer. 240 volts into the primary side H1 and H2 which is stepped down to 120 volts on the secondary side, X1 and X2.

With a Step Down transformer. But you will probably have a hard time finding a 240 volt unit. 120 volts units are readily available. <<>> It depends on how big of a transformer that you are looking for. There are many control transformers in the 50 to 500 VA range that have dual primary and dual secondary. The primary side can be connected to 240 volt or 120 volt and the secondary can be connected for either 12 or 24 volts.

voltage is the PUSH on electrons seriously 120 volts is the difference of 240...Simply said 240 volts is 2 times as strong as 120 volts.
Most equipment rated for 120 V will be damaged by a 240 V connection. Motor windings will overheat and short, so will transformers, insulation might not hold, most things will get hotter and burn up.There are quite a number of things that RE made for both 120 and 240 (laptop battery eliminators for example...
240 volts maximum.
