Stick a screwdriver between the 2 wires. This discharges the capacitor
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.
no 208v is bigger
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.
You don't, at least, not legally.
Off hand no but your explanations are not clear as to who is doing what to whom,,
The red dot on the top of a 120V capacitor typically indicates the positive terminal. It is important to ensure that the capacitor is connected with the correct polarity to prevent damage to the capacitor or the circuit.
The largest number of watts an appliance can safely use on a 120V circuit protected by a 25A breaker is 3000 watts. You calculate this by multiplying the voltage (120V) by the amperage (25A). This gives you a maximum power capacity of 3000 watts on this circuit.
To convert 120v to 240v for electrical appliances, you can use a step-up transformer. This device increases the voltage from 120v to 240v, allowing you to safely power appliances that require the higher voltage. Make sure to follow all safety precautions and consult a professional if needed.
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.
typically, you don't attach capacitors to ceiling fans ( 120V or 240V ). A capacitor would only be used for one of two reasons. 1. to reduce the noise on the AC in your home or 2. to reduce the spikes to your fan... neither of these make any sense.
To rewire a 220V lamp for 120V, you will need to replace the existing 220V bulb with a 120V bulb that is compatible with the lamp's socket. Next, you will need to install a 120V compatible power cord that matches the voltage requirements of the lamp. It's important to refer to the lamp's manual or consult with a professional electrician to ensure the rewiring is done correctly and safely.
No. The neon sign is fed by a step-up transformer. Primary side 120V, secondary side 7500V. If you applied 240 to the primary side you would get 15000 volts on the neon tube. A flash over and then nothing. If you can find a transformer from 120V to 240V or 240V to 120V then you are good to go. Connect 240V to 240V side and you will get 120V out the other, connect the 120V side to the neon sign and you should have light. Transformer should be at least 100va. This will give you an output of .83 amps at 120V
You cannot safely plug a 2000 watt 240v appliance into a 120v 20 amp breaker without risking damage or fire hazard. To use the appliance, consider installing a step-up transformer to convert the voltage from 120v to 240v before plugging it in. This will ensure the appliance operates correctly without overloading the circuit.

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.
120v
Dual voltage means it will operate safely with either 110/120V or 220/240V and all you need to operate it overseas is an electric adapter plug.
