it will work but the light output will be markedly reduced.

How do you change a heater from 120 volts 3a to 240 volts 1.5 a?
the simplest solution is by connecting two 120v 3amps heater in series , the same can be used directly on 240v. However the current drawn will still be 3 amps & Not 1.5 amps. The heater output power will be double that of a single heater running on 120v. ( or equvalent to two heaters operating on 120v. supply ) A more expensive method is to use a stepdown transformer which can be powered on 240v & connect the heater on the transformer 120v side. this method will consume approx. 1.5 amps from the 240v supply.
Can you run your neon sign of 120v 50hz 60hz 0.6a 7.5kv 30mA in an Australian 240v power outlet?
No. The neon sign is fed by a step-up transformer. Primary side 120V, secondary side 7500V. If you applied 240 to the primary side you would get 15000 volts on the neon tube. A flash over and then nothing. If you can find a transformer from 120V to 240V or 240V to 120V then you are good to go. Connect 240V to 240V side and you will get 120V out the other, connect the 120V side to the neon sign and you should have light. Transformer should be at least 100va. This will give you an output of .83 amps at 120V
Will a 120V 60Hz 275W operate properly with 12V DC 1000mA electrical supply?
No this will not work you will draw approx. 2.291 amps@275w that is approx.2291 mA
How many amps would a 150 watt bulb draw in a 120v circuit?
1 amp
Can you use 120V lamps in Europe by just putting in a 240V bulb and a European adapter on the plug?
If all the components are rated to 220V, yes. Keep in mind that if the appliance was designed for 110V it may arc if 220 is run through it. If you don't know the device can handle 220V, don't run it at 220V. Chances are it was manufactured cleaply and cannot handle the extra voltage.
Can you get a 230v supply from a 120v 3ph supply?
Yes.
Can you use vacuum cleaners in uk if bought in America?
No, different voltages, we have 230v supply, US 120v. There would be a big bang and lots of smoke, I did it at work once!
How do you wire 12V AC to 120V DC?
You would need a 12VDC to 120VAC power supply.
What voltage does the power supply uses in US?
Input would be 120v at 60hz. Standard US wall power.
Can I use 120v 10a 1250 w cable for projector 110-240v power in India?
You can use 120v 10a 125w cable projectors 110-240v power in India.
Can a 120V light fixture be used in India?
It can be if you connect two same watt lamps in series with each other. The 240 volt supply will drop 120 volts across each lamp.
Can you take single phase of 120V with a hot wire and a neutral step up to 480v and then step down to 2 phases of 120V or do you have to input 2 phases of 120v to get 240V out?
Theoretically that can be done with transformers, but the power available would still be limited by the circuit breaker on the original 120 v supply.
You are building a new house and trying to decide between 120v and 240v which is better More practical?
In the US, both 120v and 240v will be needed for your home, as different appliances need different voltages. Your TV needs 120V, while your electric dryer and stove will need a 120V/240V supply. If you have an electric water heater, or central AC unit, they will need a 240V supply.
What will happen when the shunt motor is connected across the supply line directly?
If the motor is designed for 120V or 220V whatever the case, it will function properly.If it is a 12V motor and you supply 120V it will make a mess and you will probably get hurt from flying debris!
Will the light fixtures you buy in the U.S. work when you install them in your house in Canada?
Both Canada and the USA have a nominal 120V 60Hz AC supply grid, so fixtures bought in the USA should work when connected to electricity supplies in Canada.
What type of diode is a msc 8832 s 2140?
120v/12v 30amp power supply comes to mind.
What would cause light sockets to read 130V in a 240V system when the light switch is off?
More than likely, your 240V system has branches that supply a standard household 120V to things like lighting outlets. Most light bulbs in the US run on 120V so this is probably a convenience feature. Otherwise you would have to go to a specialty store and buy 240V bulbs.
