By asking this question you are probably not quite ready to take on this particular task. Really, don't do this one yourself. Electricity is far too dangerous to handle if you have not been trained how to do this work. If you use the wrong size and type of cable for the job and/or put just one wire in the wrong place, you risk being killed by electrocution or you could even start a house fire. How to do this job depends entirely on the Wiring Codes or Regulations for the locality (Town/County/State) and on the exact location of the electrical equipment you wish to be installed. If situated anywhere that is subject to water splashes, water spray, dampness or humidity - such as in any room supplied with running water pipes, like a kitchen, laundry room, bathroom, shower room, etc., or in a workshop, or garage (or anywhere outside a building in the open air, such as along an outside wall - or a pool-side area) in many places nowadays it is actually illegal to attempt to do this kind of work unless you are already a licensed electrician. If you get any other answer here, you might attempt to do something you shouldn't be doing, and that may cost someone a shock, a home fire, or even their life. <><><> As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed. Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized. IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOB

France uses 220-240 volts for their electrical system.
No, a 240 volt device runs on 240, and a 120 volt device runs on 120. Attempting to run a device on incompatible voltage results in damage.
Can you supply three 220 -240 volt 16.6 amp infrared heaters with one circuit?
A 240 volt street light circuit is wired in parallel connections. In the base of the street fixture an inline fuse is connected into the circuit that goes up to the fixture to protect the lamp head.
Yes a 10 amp fuse can be used to protect a 240 volt circuit. The amperage rating of a fuse is based on the given amperage load of the circuit. The voltage rating on a fuse must match or be higher than the voltage that is applied to the fuse. In other words you can not use a 240 volt fuse on a 277, 347, 480 or 600 volt circuit but it can be used on a 120 volt, Manufactures of switching equipment today make it impossible to interchange different voltage fuses to be installed in higher voltage switches.
Yes
You need a step-up transformer, to go from 110 to 220-240 volts. Then a 110 volt supply can operate 240 volt equipment.
No, you cannot simply cap one leg of a 240-volt circuit and change the breaker to convert it into a 120-volt outlet. This requires rewiring the circuit to provide 120 volts, including changing the outlet and possibly other components to be compatible with the lower voltage. It's recommended to consult with a licensed electrician to properly convert the outlet.
no
No. The 240V lamp will pop the circuit or fuse because the draw is higher than the supply.
It won't run.
What you will need is a 240 to 120 step down transformer. An adapter might work but it depends on what the current draw of the neon sign is at 120 volts.
Both legs of a 240 branch circuit need to be fused with a fuse rated at 240 volts or better. The voltage potential across the load is what governs the fuse voltage ratings.
For a 30 amp 240 volt circuit, a wire size of 10 AWG should be used.
France uses 220-240 volts for their electrical system.
It depends on the use it is being put to. It is sufficient for a 24 volt circuit. Too much for a 12 volt circuit and too little for a 240 volt circuit.
To convert a 240 volt power source to a 120 volt power source using a 240 volt to 120 volt adapter, simply plug the adapter into the 240 volt outlet and then plug your 120 volt device into the adapter. The adapter will step down the voltage from 240 volts to 120 volts, allowing you to safely power your device. Make sure the adapter is rated for the appropriate wattage to avoid damaging your device.
