240
Yes <<>> In North America, a three wire 120/240 volt system uses a neutral wire. For 240 volts two "hot" wires are used with no neutral.
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.
no
In residential wiring the white wire is neutral on the 120 volt circuits. On a 3way circuit the red is the traveler and the white is neutral. On a 240 volt 3 wire connection the white & black are hot. On a 240 volt 4 wire connection the black and red are hot and the white is neutral.
The main difference between 120 volt and 240 volt electrical systems is the amount of voltage they provide. A 120 volt system is commonly used for household appliances and lighting, while a 240 volt system is typically used for larger appliances like stoves and dryers. The higher voltage of a 240 volt system allows for more power to be delivered, making it suitable for heavier electrical loads.
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.
If you mean a dual voltage motor 120/240 then yes these will operate on a 240 volt home distribution system.

On a 120/240 volt distribution the neutral is sized along with the supply conductors. The sizing is based on the amperage of the service distribution.

The pin configuration of the 240 volt receptacle is different from a 120 volt pin configuration. This is a safety factor to prevent the wrong voltage being applied to the wrong devices.

The main difference between 240-volt and 120-volt electrical systems is the amount of voltage they provide. 240-volt systems deliver more power than 120-volt systems, allowing appliances to run more efficiently. However, higher voltage also poses a greater safety risk if not handled properly. Appliances designed for 240 volts may not work on a 120-volt system and vice versa, which can impact their efficiency and safety.

The main difference between electrical appliances operating at 120 volts and 240 volts is the amount of power they can handle. Appliances operating at 240 volts can handle more power and are often more efficient, but they require a different type of outlet and wiring compared to appliances operating at 120 volts.
Generally, yes. Most US home services are 220 volt (240, 220 are `nominal' names) which are split into two 120 volt legs. You can find wiring information ont he internet, but generally, the 220 volt systems have a 120 volt leg, a common ground and then another 120 volt leg. Added together, they're 220 volt but by splitting them, you'll end up with two 120 volt legs. If you're not sure about how to wire them up, contact a qualified electrician to help you. House wiring can be very dangerous if you don't know what you're doing as well as lethal. When in doubt, don't.
