When using a copper split bolt connector on 120V wire what is the best way to protect it when it needs to be waterproof and underground?
Split bolt connectors are a mechanical connection and are not approved for underground splices. Use an approved C clamp or butt splice hypress connection for the splice. Install heat shrink over the wire before making the splice, to seal the connection for underground waterproofing.
Can you get 120v single phase from 440 3 phase?
Yes, you can obtain 120V single-phase power from a 440V three-phase system using a transformer. By using a step-down transformer that reduces the voltage from 440V to 120V, you can safely access single-phase power. It's important to ensure that the transformer is correctly rated for the load and that all safety regulations are followed during installation. Always consult with a qualified electrician for any electrical work.
Are 120V and 208V the same?
no 208v is bigger
Why are you not getting 240v between the two hot wires?
Because they are "in-phase". In order to get 240v, you need two 120v Alternating Current lines that are 180° out of phase, that is, opposite phases. Only when one line is +120v and the other -120v will you see 240v between the wires.
How do you get 120v from 220v socket?
You don't, at least, not legally.
How do you wire a 120v A base emter for 120v?
To wire a 120V A base emitter for 120V, you would typically connect the emitter to the ground, the base to the input voltage source (120V), and the collector to the load. Ensure you follow proper safety precautions and consult the specific datasheet for the A base emitter you are using for correct wiring instructions.
Can you convert a 30 amp 120V RV receptacle into a normal 120V outlet?
You can, but your circuit will be "protected" by a 30 amp breaker. So you'll have to consider the safety issues of having wiring and appliances that can draw up to 30 amps before tripping the breaker. Will the wiring and circuity support that much current without damage? If not, then switch to a 15 or 20 amp breaker.
Is 18 AWG safe for 120v?
Yes, 18 AWG wire is safe for 120V applications, as it is rated for up to 16 amps. It is commonly used for many residential electrical wiring applications. However, always consult a licensed electrician for specific wiring requirements to ensure safety and code compliance.
What is the correct 120v line voltage thermostat wiring diagram for installation?
The correct wiring diagram for a 120v line voltage thermostat installation typically involves connecting the line and load wires to the appropriate terminals on the thermostat. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and consult a professional if needed to ensure proper installation and safety.

Split bolt connectors are a mechanical connection and are not approved for underground splices. Use an approved C clamp or butt splice hypress connection for the splice. Install heat shrink over the wire before making the splice, to seal the connection for underground waterproofing.
Can you change electricity from 120V to 240V in your kitchen so that you could use a new electric oven instead of an old gas oven?
No The wiring isn't big enough to carry the load of an electric range Christmas is no time for a fire! Call an electrician!
How to change 120v to 240v in a safe and effective manner?
To change 120v to 240v safely and effectively, you will need to install a step-up transformer. This device will increase the voltage from 120v to 240v while maintaining electrical safety. It is important to follow all manufacturer instructions and consult with a qualified electrician to ensure proper installation and operation.
What is the output on this exhaust fan?
This fan is rated at 277 CFM using 120V of power.
How many amps does 230 watts equal is you are using 120V ac circuit?
1.9 amps
Can an overhead 400W light with built in ballast that is currently wired to use 480V be rewired to use 120V?
Only if the ballast is a multi tap ballast.:Even if you could install a 120V ballast, or tap it to 120V with the existing one, Current may become an issue. To run the 400W light (sodium?) Now instead of the .833 amp range it's more like 3.33 amps. Supply wiring would have to be able to handle that. Those types of lights are often on long runs to building and grounds lights, parking lots, etc. Using 480 saves a lot on wiring costs.
How many amps is 9.8Kw?
To calculate the number of amps, you need to know the voltage of the circuit. Using the formula Amps = Watts / Volts, if the voltage is 120V, then 9.8kW at 120V would be approximately 81.67 amps.
Why will a light not work on knob and tube wiring with 120V of power on meter?
According to www.wilberelectrical.com knob and tube wiring is no longer legal. You will need to replace it. Chances are, as knob and tube wiring is very, very old, something has broken or it has been disconnected as knob and tube is not very safe. I would recomment replacing it with modern wiring devices rather than trying to repair it.
