You could use a transformer in theory if a 200 volt ac unit is single phase. You must mean a 220 unit. 120 uses 3 wires, hot neutral and ground. 220 has two hots a neutral and a ground. A 2 phase motor is more economical than a single phase motor. That is why all larger units are 220. I have seen people change the breaker to a 220 and use the ground as a second hot to avoid the cost of rewiring, but don;t do it. It is against building codes ,and you don't want to break the law, not to mention it is a fire hazard. Long story short, how can I use an appliance made for 220 with a 120 source, you can not. The larger unit draws more current than a 120 can supply. If you found some way to wire it the wires will heat up and if your breaker fails you have a fire.

What else can I help you with?
Can you wire a 347 volt ballast to a 120 volt fixture?
Yes, but it will not work.
Does 240 volt have a neutral wire?
Yes <<>> In North America, a three wire 120/240 volt system uses a neutral wire. For 240 volts two "hot" wires are used with no neutral.
How much voltage required for air conditioner?
The wire sizing of any equipment is related to the amperage that the equipment draws. Look on the air conditioner and restate the question and give the amps that the unit uses and at what voltage.
A three-wire installation provides a power source for?
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.A three wire installation provides a power source for independent 120 volt circuits and 240 volt circuit with neutral.A common 120/240 volt 200 amp distribution service panel can have 42 circuits supplied from it. These circuits can be in any number of different combinations of 120 volts or 240 volts.
Is red or white neutral for electrical work?
In residential wiring the white wire is neutral on the 120 volt circuits. On a 3way circuit the red is the traveler and the white is neutral. On a 240 volt 3 wire connection the white & black are hot. On a 240 volt 4 wire connection the black and red are hot and the white is neutral.
What happens to your air conditioner if you lose one 110 volt phase?
If it is a 240 volt conditioner it will stop. If it is a 120 volt conditioner it will stop if it is on the leg that has been lost.
What are the energy requirements for a 120 volt air conditioner?
The energy requirements for a 120-volt air conditioner depend on its cooling capacity, measured in British Thermal Units (BTUs). A typical 120-volt air conditioner with a cooling capacity of 10,000 BTUs requires around 1,000 watts of power to operate efficiently.
Can you wire a 347 volt ballast to a 120 volt fixture?
Yes, but it will not work.
Which color wire is normally hot on a 120 volt system?
black
What is the ac voltage reading between the bare copper wire and the hot black wire 120 vac or zero volt?
Should be about 120 VAC.
How do you wire a 120 volt gfci into a 240 volt three wire?
You can't. The 120 volt GFCI is probably just a 2-wire (hot, neutral and ground) You would have to run a new 3-wire (2 hots, neutral and ground). The two hots are how you get the 240 volts (120+120=240). Also you must make sure the wire is gauged properly. #10 wire for 30 amps, #12 wire for 20 amps, etc.
Does 240 volt have a neutral wire?
Yes <<>> In North America, a three wire 120/240 volt system uses a neutral wire. For 240 volts two "hot" wires are used with no neutral.
What color is the hot wire in a 120 volt circuit?
In the US of A, it's supposed to be black.
What wire size needed for 120 volt 3000 watt load?
AWG # 10 wire on 30 amp circuit.
Can you use 240 volts with a 120 volt supply?
No, it is not possible to use 240 volts with a 120 volt supply directly. You would need a transformer to step up the voltage from 120 volts to 240 volts. Attempting to use 240 volts with a 120 volt supply without a transformer can damage equipment and pose a safety hazard.
Can you wire a 120 volt ballast to a 347 volt circuit?
No, you cannot wire a 120 volt ballast to a 347 volt circuit. The ballast is designed to operate at a specific voltage, in this case 120 volts, and connecting it to a higher voltage circuit like 347 volts can damage the ballast and pose a safety hazard. It is important to match the voltage rating of the ballast to the circuit it will be connected to.
How much voltage required for air conditioner?
The wire sizing of any equipment is related to the amperage that the equipment draws. Look on the air conditioner and restate the question and give the amps that the unit uses and at what voltage.
