You can either have an electrician modify the electronics inside (sometimes not possible) or use an external step-down transformer to convert the voltage (not designed for permanent use).

Another Perspective:It all depends on the type of appliance. An appliance that uses a lot of resistance current might be a little expensive to convert. If it's a simple appliance you can easily change some motors from 240 to 120 by changing the wiring, and often controls are already running on one leg of a 240 V supply.

But the transformer idea is not necessarily a good idea. It might be cheaper to simply have an electrician run a 240 V line for the appliance.

What does P1 stand for in electrical wiring?

P1 is where you hook L1 on electric motors. Typically used on 220v motors in the wiring diagram. P1 (phase 1) gets connected to L1 (power leg)


The neighboorhood power went down from 220V to 110V all the power trucks have now left how do you know if you have 220V coming in or not No Multimeter?

Most residential homes are fed with 220-240V AC 1 phase. If you lost a phase only 1/2 the circuits in your house would work Any appliances that were 220-40 VAC would not work Basically every other circuit breaker in your panel would work and the ones that are double would not If you lost a phase and you ran an appliance and it made a humming noise instead of running turn it off immediately. And call the electric power company to fix the supply into your house!


How can I change 2 wire 220 1 phase to 4 wire 220 single phase to run an electric range?

To change from a 2-wire 220V connection to a 4-wire 220V connection for an electric range, you will need to install a separate ground wire. This typically involves running a new wire to the grounding terminal in the electrical panel and connecting it to the range outlet. It's important to ensure that the wiring is done properly and meets local electrical codes for safety. If you are unsure, it's best to consult a qualified electrician for assistance.


How do you Convert 220v 20hp to amps?

1 horsepower = 746 watts, 1 watt = 1 volt x 1 amp => 20 Horsepower = 14,920 watts => 14,920 watts / 220 volts = 67.82 amps

Can i discard electric virus during my opponent's turn?

Electric Virus's effect, like that of Dark Grepher and Puppet Plant, is an Ignition effect. Therefore, it can only be activated during your turn, during Main Phase 1 or Main Phase 2.


How convert 1 phase to 3phase in aircraft?

The power is generated in the form of three-phase in aircraft, and this sytem has no problem in feeding single phase loads. To conserve mass in tansformers and motors the supply works at 400 Hz.


Give three reasons why AC three-phase system is used universally in the electricity public utility supply?

1. 3 phase is more efficient for electric motors. 2. Electric motors start easier with 3 phase. 3. Less current draw 4. Less heat is produced that is waste.


How do you convert single phase kva to three phase kva?

Va=volts x amps. The K stands for one thousand. So 1 Kva is one thousand watts. So 415v times 120a= 49,800 what's. You divide that by a thousand and you get 49.8. So it would be 49.8 Kva.


How you can convert 1-phase voltage to 3-phase voltage and vice-vars a?

A single-phase supply is obtained between any two line conductors or between a line and neutral conductor of a three-phase supply. To obtain a three-phase supply from a single-phase source is far more difficult, and requires additional equipment.


What is needed to convert 1 phase power to 3 phase power?

Three ways to convert single phase to three phase: 1. Static phase converter, efficient with some limitations. (Ronk manufactures some good ones) 2. Variable frequency drive (inverter) you will need to buy one twice the horsepower you are trying to operate. 5 hp load would require a 10 hp inverter. 3.Rotary phase inverter, made from a three phase motor. This also requires a size of twice your load horsepower. Plans are available to build your own or there are manufactured units. Google Smith rotary phase converters.


How can you determine if a electric motor is 1 phase or 3 phase if there is no name plate?

Check the motor's terminal box. If there are three service input cables - such as red, yellow and blue - plus an earth wire, then it is a three phase motor. If there are only two wires plus an earth wire, then it is single phase.
