Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz power supply service. For electrical panels the proper terminology is L1,L2,N. N is for neutral and it is this wire that is grounded. The voltage measurement from the L1 to N will give you 120 volts. Also from L2 to N will give you 120 volts and from L1 to L2 will give you 240 volts. Single pole breakers in the panel board starting at the top, alternate between L1 and L2 all the way down to the bottom. These breakers all have 120 volt outputs. If you plug a 2 pole breaker into two slots then you get 240 outputs because L1 and L2 are adjacent to one another.

Will a 240 volt string of Christmas lights work on a 110 volt socket?
No, a 240 volt string of Christmas lights is designed to be used with a 240 volt socket. Plugging it into a 110 volt socket may damage the lights and pose a safety hazard. Be sure to always use lights with the correct voltage rating.
Can you plug in a 240 volt equipment into 110 volt electric socket?
No, it won't get enough power and won't work.
How do you get 240 volts out of a 110 outlet?
You would have to run new wires to obtain 240 volts or use a step-up transformer.
Will a 115 volt converter from 240 volts harm a 110 - 120 volt appliance?
The appliaance is designed for 110-120 v so if it is fed at 115 v that is quite OK.
Can you change wall plugs 110 volt systems to suit 240 volt appliances?
No, you cannot simply change the wall plug to make a 110 volt outlet support a 240 volt appliance. The voltage requirements of the appliance and the outlet must match for safe operation. You would need to install a dedicated 240 volt outlet and ensure that the wiring and circuitry can handle the higher voltage. It is recommended to consult a licensed electrician for this type of electrical work.
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.
Can you convert 110 volt to 240 volt?
Yes
Can you plug in a 110 volt tool straight into a 240 volt power supply?
no
What will happen if you run a 240 volt saw from a 110 volt supply?
It won't run.
Can 110v circuit power 240v devices?
You need a step-up transformer, to go from 110 to 220-240 volts. Then a 110 volt supply can operate 240 volt equipment.
Is France 110 volt or 220 volt?
France uses 220-240 volts for their electrical system.
Can a 110 volt motor run on 240 volts without damage?
No, unless the motor was wound for dual voltage operation, which it will state on the motor nameplate, a 110 volt motor run on 240 volts will be damaged.

Your medical machine says 110240 can you use it in a 240 volt system in cuba?
If you mean 110/240, yes, but there may be a hidden switch to switch it to 240 volt mode. Check the manual.
Can you plug a 240 volt appliance into a 110 volt system?
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.
