Would a steam generator be better supplied by a 120V supply or 240V?

Electric steamers are available for home use. The answer is to look at the machine's nameplate to find out the voltage required.
I used to work for a company that made a steam generator for the upholstery and jewelry industries, those were 120 Volt glorified water heaters.
Remember, WATTS are Watts no matter what voltage is used by the unit. This is another question that sounds like a homework question, if it is, study OHM's Law and understand it. It is easier than you think!

What size generator would power a two bedroom house?
I power my home from a 7000 watt generator. It connects to a 12 circuit transfer panel. Backup power is supplied to the well pump, fridge, freezer, furnace, microwave and toaster ovens, television, computer, and several lights.
What size generator do you need for a 700 amp farm everyday use?
Answer for UK, Europe and countries running a 50 Hz supply service.A farm that takes a 700-amp supply on 3-phase 415 volts is a big farm drawing 500 kVA so it really needs a 750 kVA generator that would be expected to use 60-70 gallons of diesel per hour. It should be noted that 3 phase 415 volts is a 50 Hertz generated supply.At lower voltages the power drawn would be less, but the answer is independent of the supply frequency.Answer for countries running a 60 Hz supply service.A farm that takes a 700-amp supply on 3-phase 208 volts is a farm drawing 250 kVA that needs a 300-350 kVA generator. It would be expected to use 30-40 gallons of diesel per hour.
Can I combine 2 110v 15 amp outlets on a generator to power a single 30 amp 110v outlet on my boat?
The short answer, no. The long answer - A 15a 110v current tap can supply approximately 1650 watts. A 30a 110v load would assume a demand of 3300 watts. Splicing multiple cables together to supply this load would be an unsafe practice, as it would be possible for one or the other cables, or receptacles to become overloaded, creating a possible fire hazard. Assuming the generator is rated above that load demand, it would be much safer to add a correctly rated outlet to the generator, and utilize a properly rated cord for connection.
Would the electricity needed to heat a house come from a generator or a dry cell?
a generator would prodution the heat to a house.
What size home standby generator do you need for a 4500 square foot house?
ranch style home - 1500 square foot with partial basement. What size generator would be needed?
How do you Explain the difference between change in supply and change in quantity supplied?
A change in supply means that the supply curve has shifted. With a stable demand, this will result in a change in the quantity supplied but also a change in price. A change in only quantity supplied without a change in supply would require a horizontal supply curve. Alternatively a change in quantity supplied and price may occur if there is a shift of the demand curve.
An increase in supply will cause?
An increase in supply will cause a decrease in demand. The value of what is being supplied would also drop.
If the price of a video game increased what would the law of supply predict about the quantity supplied of the game?
the law of supply would increase the quantity of the game
Is a gas generator better than electric?
The purpose of a generator is to generate electricity. An electric generator would be redundant. It would need electricity to make electricity and when there is a power outage there is not electricity.
How would three phase power be supplied to a DC disc brake?
The AC supply would have to be changed to DC supply.. This would be done with the use of a rectifier. It would be done usually with a full wave rectifier.
Where can I find durable portable generator?
The best place to look for a durable and portable generator to survive the next tornado would be at your local hardware or building supply store. They would most likely have what you need.
Why would a generator produce high kvar output?
A generator would be forced to produce a high output kVAr if it has a lot of non-linear loads connected to it i.e. fluorescent lighting, switchmode power supplied equipment (PCs, old servers etc).
Is an electric power generator safer than a natural gas powered generator?
You can purchase an electric power generator, but it won't do you much good if the electric goes out. A kerosene or deisel generator would be a better choice.
What voltage supplied by Florida Power and Light would be the least expensive to run a 3 phase 750 KW motor?
Motors are rated in horsepower, not KW. A 750,000 watt motor, at 220 volt, would be a 1005 H.P. motor and about the size of a large pickup truck! I suspect you're asking about a 750 KW generator. You must not only supply the correct voltage and amperage to operate it, you must have a 3 phase power supply. Unless you're in a commercial bldg. you likely don't have 3 phase power and can't operate that generator.
Can a 6000 watt generator power a 25hp ac electric motor?
No it what work 756 watts = 1 HP. You would need a generator that can supply 756 x 25 = 18900 watts.
Why is copper wire better to use for an electromagnetic generator?
Copper is a metal, and is an excellent conductor of electricity. That's why it would be chosen for use in an electromagnetic generator.
