What else can I help you with?
Can a 2-pole circuit breaker be used for 110V 220V or 440V?
All three, on 110V a split receptacle, on 220V a baseboard heater, on 440V a construction heater or similar resistive load.
Can you run a 110v heater on 220v circuit?
No.It'll overload and fail just about immediately.It's possible - but not recommended - to run two 110 v heaters in series from a 220v circuit.
How do you rewire a 110v RV generator ONAN to produce 220v for backup power for your house?
yes you can use. but you need to install 110v to 220 volt step up transformer . It depends on the generator. Some are 120 only. Need full model and serial number to help you.
Can a 220V x 40W bulb bought in India used in America where supply standard is 110V x 60Hz and does the power consumed varies?
If you can use it in your lamp it will be a 20 watt bulb
How do you rewire a 220V lamp to work on 110V?
The quick answer is you don't. Normally a 220 V fixture would be in a commercial location. Since Voltage = Current x Resistance the current for the 220 V case would be 220/R. Since R won't change your new current would be 110/R. Depending on the lamp type, the lower current will make the bulb dim or it won't light at all. Always use the proper voltage for a device to avoid dangerous situations.
Will a device designed for 110v work on 220v?
No, a device designed for 110v will not work on 220v without a voltage converter.
What type of electricity is mains electricity?
AC (Alternating Current) usually provided at either 110V or 220V.
Can a device designed for 110v work on 220v?
No, a device designed for 110v cannot work on 220v without a voltage converter.
Why 220v in the Phil and 110v to the other country?
i think the answer is more on economical reasons ( 220v in the phil ).. since Voltage is inversely proportional to current..the higher the voltage, the lower the current..the lower the current, the smaller the electrical cable to use. In short, if we used 220v, electrical cable to be used is much smaller compared to the cable used in 110v..Smaller cable means less price than of the much larger cable.. :))
How can I use a step-up transformer to convert 110v to 220v?
To convert 110v to 220v using a step-up transformer, connect the 110v input to the primary winding and the 220v output to the secondary winding of the transformer. The transformer will increase the voltage while maintaining the power output.
Can you attach an iron machine of 220v in a 110v socket?
No
Can you plug your 220V electric piano into a 110V socket?
No.
Which is more powerful 110v or 220v?
"Power" is not expressed in volts, but rather in watts (Volts times Amperes), for instance. So you cannot say whether 110v or 220v is more Power-ful unless you also know how much current (Amperes) is flowing in the electrical circuit.
An electric iron always draws a current of 3.4 amp from the 220v supply line what current will this electric iron draws when connected to 110v supply line?
1.7amp
Which is better 220 versus 110 volts both with 20 amps?
At 20 amps the 220V will supply twice (2x) the power that the 110V will supply. The answer depends upon your meaning of the term 'better'. If you have a specific size load that you are supplying such as a motor that will accept either 220V or 110V then by using 220V you will have less of an impact from voltage drop and the conductor size will be smaller due to the current being 1/2 of the 110V. If by better you mean which one will give you the most power then the obvious answer is 220V.
Why 220v and 110v was chosen as standard voltage in Brazil and not some other voltage?
220v and 110v are almost the only voltages used around the world because they are the most efficient.
Can you use the 220v 50hz appliances in 110v 60hz?
Depends. Some smaller stuff can usually run on both, in which case it will be printed on them. If it isn't, you can't run a 220v item on 110v.
