Will 120 volt equipment work on a 110 volt transformer?
Yes.
How do you run a tv off a battery?
Answer 1 -- Some OptionsThat depends. For example, I have an old, small [5 inch] B&W TV that was designed to be portable. It operates on "C" cell batteries [8 of 'em] placed in a compartment inside the TV, or on an auxiliary 110-120 volt AC to 12 volt DC battery "eliminator" transformer that plugs into a household wall receptacle. It also has a power cord with battery charger type "clamps" so I can hook it up directly to the terminals of any automotive battery. For ordinary TVs that are designed to operate only on 110-120 volt AC, you have to use what is called a POWERINVERTER.The Inverter either plugs into an automotive Cigar/Cigarette Lighter socket, or any similar 12 volt DC power socket, OR using cables [look like jumper cables, but they are permanently tied into the Inverter] which attach to the Positive and Negative terminals of any 12 volt DC automotive battery.Inverters are available in several different sizes [amount of electrical current output capability specified in Amperes (Amps)]. The inverter output must equal or exceed the Amps required by the TV set, or any other 110-120 volt AC device one wished to power via an Inverter.
What will happen if the voltmeter was inserted in place of an ammeter?
You would load the circuit, and it is likely it would not operate correctly. A volt meter is designed to have a very high resistance between the two probes; an ammeter is designed to have a very low resistance. For instance, say you have a 120 watt light bulb that runs on 120 volts (you would then draw ~1 amp of current). If you tried to measure this with a meter that has .1 ohm resistance on ammeter setting, and 1,000,000 ohms on volt meter: Error due to loading: ammeter: .1 / (120 + .1) = .08%; Current will be .999Amps, power to the light bulb will be 119.9 watts Volt meter: 1,000,000/ (120 + 1,000,000) = 99.9%; current will be 120micro Amps, power to the light bulb will be 14.4 milliwatts (the light bulb will not appear to be on).
Can you connect a 277V ballast to 208V line service?
No. A 277 volt ballast needs the correct voltage to operate. The 277 voltage is derived from the star point voltage of a 480 volt three phase system (277/480). The 208 voltage is a three phase line voltage whose star-point voltage is 120 volts (120/208).
60 ohm and 40 ohm and 20 ohm resistors are all 3 connected in series across a 120VAC source what is the total voltage across 40 ohms resistance?
Total resistance is 120 ohms. The 120VAC will be split evenly over this 120 ohm load, so every ohm of resistance gets a volt. So there will be a 40 volt drop across the 40 ohm resistor.
Can i run a 240 volt water heater on 120 volt?
No. A water heater requires a 240 volt connection and cannot be re-wired to run on 120 volts. There isn't enough amperage in 120 volts to power the heating rods that are inside.
What size breaker for a 1500 watt 120 volt heater?
To calculate the breaker size for a 1500-watt 120-volt heater, use the formula: Breaker size = Power (Watts) / Volts. In this case, 1500 watts / 120 volts = 12.5 amps. Therefore, you would need a 15-amp breaker for a 1500-watt 120-volt heater to allow for a safety margin.
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.
If a heater claims to be 1500 watts how long would it take for that heater to draw 1500 watts?
Watts is the amount of power the heater has and amps would be the draw- if it is a 120 volt heater than the amps would be 12.5 amps and it is instantaneous
Does a 6 amp 240 volt appliance hook up to 110?
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.
What is the maximum power capacity of a 15 amp 120 volt outlet?
The maximum power capacity of a 15 amp 120 volt outlet is 1800 watts.
What is the power and accuracy of volt tackle?
Power: 120 Accuracy: 100%
Wiring diagram electric baseboard heater?
An electric baseboard heater usually requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit with a double-pole thermostat. The wiring involves connecting the heater to the power supply by matching the colors of the wires (black to black, white to white, and green/bare to ground). It's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and all applicable electrical codes when installing the heater.
Can a 120 volt water heater work over a 14 gauge wire at 300 feet?
A 120-volt water heater should not be run over a 14-gauge wire at 300 feet. The voltage drop over such a long distance would be significant, potentially causing the water heater to not function properly or even become a safety hazard. It is recommended to use a larger gauge wire or locate the heater closer to the power source.
What will happen if 120 volt appliance is plugged into 220 volt outlet explain with electrical equation?
If V is the rated voltage of the equipment, and Vs is voltage of the supply, we have this approximate equation: Vs = 2 V. That is enough to wreck the equipment and/or blow the fuse.120 volt appliance on 240 voltsThis senerio will use an electric baseboard heater but the results will be the same for any electrical appliance.The heater will operate over its given specified wattage. A 120 volt heater run off of 240 volt will have an output increase. Ohms law stated that current is directly proportional to the applied voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance of the circuit. A 240 volt heater can be run off of 120 volts but the wattage will be reduced.For example if an ordinary 1000 watt baseboard heater's supply is 120 volts, the current of the heater will be, I = W/E 1000/120 = 8.3 amps.The resistance of the heater is R = W/I (squared) =1000/8.3 x 8.3 (69) = 14.5 ohms.Applying 240 volts on the same heater whose resistance is 14.5 ohms results in a new heater wattage rating. W = E (squared)/R = 240 x 240 (57600)/14.5 = 3972 watts.This is 2972 watts, almost 300%, higher than the manufacturer's designed safety rating.The amperage drawn by connecting a 120 volt, 1000 watt heater to a 240 volt source will be, I = W/E = 3972/120 = 33 amps.W = watts, I = amperage, R = resistance in ohms and E = voltage.
Can you hook a car amplifier to a home stereo?
No you cannot house amps use 120 volt ac car amps use 12 volt dc
Can a 120 volt light work on 110 power?
Yes, a 120 volt light can work on a 110 volt power supply without any issues. The difference of 10 volts will not significantly impact the function or performance of the light.
