How can you convert 240v to 120v for ac?
Use a step down transformer 240 primary to 120 secondary. You must know what the connected load (amps) is so that you don't overload the transformer. Small transformers are rated in VA.
Why are you not getting 240v between the two hot wires?
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.
What are the two most popular operating voltages for residences?
120v and 240v
A transformer has a primary volt of 240v and a secondary volt of 48v what is the turn ratio?

Can you use a 240V disconnect switch for a 120V AC?
Yes and you will have a spare terminal for future use
Can you run your neon sign of 120v 50hz 60hz 0.6a 7.5kv 30mA in an Australian 240v power outlet?
No, you cannot directly run a neon sign designed for 120V power on a 240V power outlet in Australia. The different voltage and frequency could damage the sign or be a safety hazard. You would need a voltage converter or transformer to safely operate the neon sign on the higher voltage.
Can 240V washer run on 120V outlet?
No.
What happens if you plug a 120V appliance into a 240V outlet?
You will burn up your appliance!!!!!
240V to a standard outlet?
You cannot plug a 240V appliance directly into a standard 120V outlet as it can cause damage or be a safety hazard. You would need a dedicated 240V outlet and possibly a step-down transformer to safely use the appliance. It's recommended to consult an electrician for proper installation.
I have 240V 3 wire twistlock plug and want to wire it so I have 120V outlet?
Don't!
Can you plug a 120v 20 amp wielder into a 240v 40 amp outlet?
No, it is not safe to plug a 120v 20 amp welder into a 240v 40 amp outlet. The voltage difference is too high and could damage the welder. It is important to match the voltage and amperage of the welder with the corresponding outlet.
If you have a 240V 22A welder which has a plug similar but smaller than a dryer plug can you use this in a 120V outlet?
No, a 240V 22A welder requires a 240V outlet for proper operation. Plugging it into a 120V outlet will not provide enough power and could damage the welder or create a safety hazard. It is important to always use the correct voltage and amperage for electrical appliances.
Can you take a 120V winecooler to Europe and use it with an 240V outlet and an adapter?
NO, unless you get a converter that converts 220 to 110.
Is there adapters for 250 volt to 120 volts?
No. There are no "adaptors". To get 240V from a 120v supply you use a 120-240V step up transformer. <><><> Clothes dryers, water heaters and and other high-power 240 volt appliances cannot be run on a transformer from a 120 volt circuit. They must be powered from a separate branch circuit that has the right size breakers, cable and socket outlet to suit the appliance.
How do you hook the 4 wires which are 2 whites 1 red and 1 black coming from the back of a generator to an outlet for 120v and 240v?
The whites are Neutrals or Grounds and the Red and Black are each 120v. One white and either the black or red for 120v and one white, both the red and black for 240v.
How do you change a heater from 120 volts 3a to 240 volts 1.5 a?
the simplest solution is by connecting two 120v 3amps heater in series , the same can be used directly on 240v. However the current drawn will still be 3 amps & Not 1.5 amps. The heater output power will be double that of a single heater running on 120v. ( or equvalent to two heaters operating on 120v. supply ) A more expensive method is to use a stepdown transformer which can be powered on 240v & connect the heater on the transformer 120v side. this method will consume approx. 1.5 amps from the 240v supply.
Can you use 120V appliances on a 240V outlet?
No, 120V appliances are designed for use with a 120V outlet. Plugging them into a 240V outlet can cause damage to the appliance or pose a safety hazard. It is important to always match the voltage requirements of the appliance with the voltage supply.
