What else can I help you with?
Can you change a dryer from 120 volts to 240 volts It came wired as 120 volts but we do have an outlet for 240 volts Was hoping to speed up dry times and save some?
If the dryer is a clothes dryer then the short answer no. If it is a hair dryer then there might be a voltage switch on the handle that allows you to change voltages. If the manufacturer of the clothes dryer specified that it can be operated on dual voltages then it is just a matter of changing a few terminal connections. Check the instruction manual to see what it states there. This is very unlikely though. In North America all clothes dryers need 120/240 volts to operate. The 120 volts is used for the timer relays and for the drum motor, the 240 volts for the heating elements in the dryer. By changing to a higher voltage, it will not speed up the speed up the drying time. It is more likely that if you plug the dryer into the 240 volt receptacle it will burn the 120 volt motor out.
What is a 210 volt outlet?
A 210-volt outlet is not a standard voltage for residential use in most regions. Typical household outlets are either 120 volts or 240 volts. It is possible that a 210-volt outlet may be used in certain commercial or industrial settings for specific equipment or machinery that requires this voltage level. It is essential to consult with a licensed electrician before attempting to use or modify any electrical outlet.
Can you use 240 volts with a 120 volt supply?
No, it is not possible to use 240 volts with a 120 volt supply directly. You would need a transformer to step up the voltage from 120 volts to 240 volts. Attempting to use 240 volts with a 120 volt supply without a transformer can damage equipment and pose a safety hazard.
Can you use 206 volts as one leg on a 240 volt drier?
The drier should have its operating voltage range marked on it. A heating element designed for 240 v would use 25% less electric power and produce 25% less heat when run on 208 v. So it would still dry clothes but it would take longer. If it has a motor to rotate it, whether the motor would operate correctly on 208 v is another matter.
Can 240 volt appliances from NZ run on 240 Volts in the US?
No, 240 volt appliances from New Zealand cannot run on 240 volts in the US. The electrical systems in these countries are different. Appliances intended for use in New Zealand are designed to operate on 230-240 volts at 50 hertz, while in the US, the standard voltage is 120 volts at 60 hertz. Using a 240-volt appliance from New Zealand in the US without a voltage converter or transformer could damage the appliance or pose a safety hazard.

Can a 10-2 wire be connected to a 10-3 recepticle for a dryer?
No, the dryer needs 120 volts supplied by the neutral third wire, along with the 240 volts for the dryer element. One of the two 240 volt supply conductors is used with the neutral to supply 120 volts to the controls and the drum motor. That is why a three wire cable is needed.
How many volts can b drawn off a 240 volt breaker?
240 volts maximum.
An electric clothes dryer has a resistance of 16 ohms It draws 15 A of current What is the voltage in volts of the wall outlet that it is plugged into?
We know that Voltage = Current x Resistance, so if E = I x R, then E = 20 x 12 = 240 volts, and the dryer must be plugged into a 240 volt outlet.

What is the recommended voltage for a dryer outlet?
The recommended voltage for a dryer outlet is 240 volts.
What the difference between a 120 volt and a 240 volt waffle iron?
One has an element designed to work on 120 volts, the other has an element designed to work on 240 volts.
What is the recommended voltage for operating a dryer?
The recommended voltage for operating a dryer is typically 240 volts.

In your home your store and your electric clothes dryer usually run on how many volts?
240 volts

How can I convert a 240 volt power source to a 120 volt power source using a 240 volt to 120 volt adapter?
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.
