As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

How do you wire a 20A switch which comes with a neutral wire when only 2 wires are available for the circuit?
You never switch a neutral wire, only hots. hooking both hot and neutral to the same switch will result in a short when the swith is turned on.
Can you properly change a 3-prong 240V outlet looks like standard plug but horizontal to the NEMA twistlock 20A style if they use a different number of wires extra ground neutral on a twistlock type?
No. You can't replace a 220V outlet with a 110/220V outlet without running the requisite neutral wire. If you do you will blow out any device that expects the neutral line to be connected.
Does the NEC code allow multiple 20A receptacles on a 20A circuit Put another way does a 20A receptacle with T shaped neutral slots imply that no other outlets are that circuit?
The National Electrical Code (US) allows up to thirteen 20 amp receptacles on a 20 amp circuit. 120V x 20A = 2400 VA each duplex receptacle is calculated at 180 VA 2400 / 180 = 13.3333 receptacles, since you can't put a third of a receptacle in, you have to round down to 13.
Does Europe use 20A branch circuits?
no
20 amp breaker power verse 15amp breaker power?
The 20A breaker can handle (25%) more power than the 15A breaker, because of this the wires used inside the walls is larger. Some circuits must be 20A, the laundry and kitchen are examples of 20A circuits.

If you are wiring a 20a twistlock connector that is not labeled what wires go where?
Need to know what the voltage is. A NEMA number of the pin configuration would also help.

What is 20a 45 factored?
20a + 45 = 5(4a + 9)
The rms value of the resultant current in a wire which carries a DC of 20A and a sinusoidal ac of peak value 20A is?
From your description, this sounds like it is a sine wave offset to 10A, so the peak is at 20A, and the min is at 0? For this case, you have 10A DC (RMS) wave and a 10A Peak - neutral AC wave; The RMS value of the AC wave is: 10/2*sqrt(2) = 3.54A. So the RMS amplitude of this wave is 13.54A.
What is -4(5a-3)?
-4(5a-3) = -20a + 12
What is 5a³ plus 15a² plus 20a?
It cannot be simplified any further, so it is: 5a³ + 15a² + 20a
How do you solve this equation -8 equals -20a?

Can an espresso machine with a 20A 240V Leviton plug be powered without rewiring?
You need a dedicated circuit for that. You cannot power a 220V device off 110V.
Trying to put a radio you took out from a 2000 Nissan xterra into a 94 Toyota Camry but it keeps blowing the 20A radio fuse.suggestions please?
It's your wiring, you are putting a Nissan radio into a Toyota so the wiring must be screwed up in there somewhere. The fuse is blowing because a power wire is grounding. recheck the diagrams and correct.
