240 volts from the secondary side of the transformer to your house
voltage depend on current and resistance r.p.m depend on no of pole
transformer YES but transmission is 475kv and distribution is 16kv and finally one phase out of a transformer on a pole or on the ground. An electric switch yard will have transformers to reduce to distribution voltage.
No, A double pole breaker is going to give you 220 volts. 220 Volts is too much voltage for a 110 Volt outlet to handle. == Answer== Better to pull the duplex 30a and install to single-pole 20a breakers...if one kicks out, you will know which side the problem's on. And there's no problem with running a 20a circuit over 10awg wire.
First off you should not be touching any high voltage source whether you are grounded or not. A pole isn't typically dangerous, it is the wires on the pole. A path to ground is required for a current to flow. Technicians working on high voltage power line often touch the lines and ensure they are not grounded when doing so, by using special procedures. That is why birds can sit on bare power lines without getting shocked.
To be sure, you need to contact the utility. My guess from your description is this is not really deemed high voltage. It is most likely a distribution to sub transmission voltage (2.4kV - 69kV); If it were higher than this, it is very likely that the utility would have purchase agreements or own the property directly under the line for 30-80 feet either side. this is very typical in rural farming areas. The utility often allows farmers to farm right up to structures...but if anything goes wrong (such as a crop duster clips the line), the utility has every right to come in and grind the crops to dust in the process of repairing the line.
It is a type of transformer that you usually see hanging from a utility pole that feeds your house. It transforms the high transmission voltage down to the usable voltage that is used in the home.
The maximum voltage capacity of a 240V single pole breaker is 240 volts.
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz power supply service. 220V in US, supplied as two separate 110V feeds. Your circuit breaker panel supplies both to large 220 V appliances (stove, A/C) and 1 leg=110V to regular circuits.
The transformer steps down the voltage from 600kilo volts which is what is at the power pole/lines to multiple strands of 120v or hot wires which is what your house runs off of.
voltage depend on current and resistance r.p.m depend on no of pole
Phase, if you are referring to line, as power line from pole.
In America, a 2-pole breaker is controlling 240V. 120V per leg.
The live pole carries the supply voltage and is usually colored brown or red. The neutral pole completes the circuit and is typically colored blue or black. Using a voltage detector or a multimeter set to AC voltage mode, you can identify the live wire by measuring the voltage between each wire and the ground, as the live wire will show a voltage level.
Lamps do not produce electrical energy, they consume it. The voltage at a lamp depends on the voltage of the local supply. That can be switched on or off to each individual map, or groups of lamps if required.
In the United States the common house current is commonly referred to as either 115 volts or 120 volts. The voltage varies due to the distance from the transformer on the pole because electricity loses voltage the further it has to travel.
transformer YES but transmission is 475kv and distribution is 16kv and finally one phase out of a transformer on a pole or on the ground. An electric switch yard will have transformers to reduce to distribution voltage.
Legend has it that Santa lives at the north pole. However, his house is invisible because it is magic.
