How many voltage does an air handler use?

residential usually 115v or 230v. Commercial could be 115, 208-230 or 460


Any advantages in wiring a single speed pool pump 230V vs 115V electrician says cheaper to wire 115V?

Your electrician is correct on this. However, the pump is designed for 230V and will use less electricity, thus saving money if wired for 230V. Yeah, if you have to rewire for 230 V then it would be more expensive until your savings had consumed or offset the expense.


Do i need to switch circuit breaker since i went from 115V well pump to 230V well pump it is also a higher HP pump but pressure is lower than before?

The 230v breaker is 2-pole, The 115v is only single-pole so YES you need a new breaker. DON'T use 2 single-pole breakers instead. The well pump will run to the pressure setting of the pressure switch controlling it, regardless of HP. The difference might be in the size of the pump in flow rating, I.E. a 1/2 HP pump rated at 10gpm @ 70 psi won't perform the same as a 3/4 HP pump rated at 20 gpm @ 50 psi. Check the pump curve and pressure switch setting. The pressure switch for the new pump will need both power leads connected to the switch (1 lead per contact set), not 1 wire as the 115v motor was.


How do you replace 120 volt pool light with a 12 volt pool light?

Answer for countries in Europe and other world areas running a 50 Hz power supply service. This depends on the the light or globe, if you can replace just the globe its very simple. change over the globe and buy yourself a mains(230v or 115v) to 12v isolation transformer, and attach that to the mains cable and run a cable from the 12v to the globe and away you go. The description of how to change the mains to 12v is the same if you have to replace the whole light. Then you just have to replace the globe or the whole light assembly.


Does 15amp outdoor circuit need gfi?

ALL outdoor circuits and all 115v circuits in a bathroom, kitchen or garage should be protected by a GFIC. If you have any doubt, contact your local building inspector.GFIC outlets are relatively inexpensive and can be wired into the first circuit of a string of outdoor outlets. The expense is reasonable and the protection is well worth the investment.

You have an old Gould 2hp elect motor that you want to switch from 230v to 110v The existing connections do not match directions in earlier question and suggested 110v connections differ from mtr diag?

2 HP, A-C Single phase, 115/230 volt motor. And you wish to operate it on 115V. First the circuit size would need to be a min. of 30amp/ #10wire.... Being a Gould is this a pump/motor? I ask because single phase pump motor are not reversible, so they have less leads to connect..Is the motor thermaly protected (check name plate) Again less leads to connect if not therm-protected. How many lead motor is it, and what are the leads #. If it is 4 leads and # t1,t2,t3,t4 connect line1 to t1 and t3 connect line2 to t2 and t4. Let me know what the # are and how many leads their are.. I would not operate a motor that large on 115V, (1HP is about max on 115V)


How do you change 115v to 230v?

You can use a voltage converter or transformer to change 115V to 230V. Make sure to select a converter or transformer that is capable of handling the required voltage conversion and power load. It is always best to consult a professional electrician for safe and proper installation.

How big of an inverter to run a 115v 60hz 3.0 amp device?

To calculate the size of the inverter needed, multiply the device's operating voltage (115V) by its current draw (3.0A) to get the power consumption in watts (115V * 3.0A = 345W). To be safe and accommodate any power surges, choose an inverter with a continuous power output of at least 400-500 watts.


How does a 12v to 115v converter work?

A 12v to 115v converter, like an inverter, works by converting direct current (DC) from a 12v source (such as a car battery) to alternating current (AC) at 115v. This is typically achieved through electronic circuitry that switches the DC input to create an AC output, allowing you to power AC devices (such as laptops or small appliances) from a DC power source.


Is 115 v good for home theater?

If you live in an area that uses 115V as the mains supply, then it's absolutely fine. Equipment sold in the area will be designed to operate on that voltage and there is no difference in performance between 115V equipment and 230V equipment.
