What is 208 voltage star?
208 voltage star refers to a three-phase electrical system where the voltage between any two phases is 208 volts. This type of system is commonly used in commercial and industrial applications to power machinery and equipment. Voltage configurations such as 208Y/120V or 208/120V are typical examples of 208 voltage star systems.
Can an 18 watt bulb be used in low voltage outdoor lighting?
No, an 18 watt bulb typically requires a higher voltage than what is used in low voltage outdoor lighting systems. Using a higher wattage bulb in a low voltage system can cause damage to the bulb and the lighting system. It is recommended to use bulbs specifically designed for low voltage outdoor lighting.
Can you use 120V lamps in Europe by just putting in a 240V bulb and a European adapter on the plug?
If all the components are rated to 220V, yes. Keep in mind that if the appliance was designed for 110V it may arc if 220 is run through it. If you don't know the device can handle 220V, don't run it at 220V. Chances are it was manufactured cleaply and cannot handle the extra voltage.
Can a 230 volt bulb be used on a 120 volt circuit How does this impact wattage of the bulb?
Yes, a 230V bulb can be used on a 120V circuit, but the power output of the bulb will be approximately one quarter. (Half the voltage and half the current) Note, however, that since the bulb will be cooler, the resistance will be slightly less, so power will be somewhat higher than expected, but estimated figure is still one quarter.
How can you attach a 120 v Light Fixture to a 277 v system do I need a ballast so what kinda of ballast?
To attach a 120V light fixture to a 277V system, you will need a step-down transformer with a 277V primary and 120V secondary. This will allow you to safely power the light fixture at the correct voltage. You do not need a ballast in this case, as ballasts are typically used with fluorescent lights and not for altering voltage levels.
Can a 120V light bulb work in a 250V socket?
No, a 120V light bulb should not be used in a 250V socket. The bulb is designed to operate at a lower voltage, and connecting it to a higher voltage source can lead to overheating, damage, and potentially cause the bulb to burn out or even create a fire hazard. Always use bulbs that match the voltage rating of the socket to ensure safety and proper functioning.
Use a 145v light bulb in a 120v socket?
Yes. The bulb will be slightly dimmer, but will last much longer. Most 145V bulbs are intended to be used in 120V exit signs. The reason for the higher voltage rating on the bulb is because it will last a long, long time when used at 120V.

What does 240 mean?
240 refers to the voltage used in an electrical system. The US uses 120V/240V, while the UK uses just 240V.
What voltage is used in commercial area in Canada?
120v, 240v and 347v for lighting

What does 120v mean and how does it work?
120V stands for 120 volts, which is the standard voltage used in most residential electrical systems in the United States. This voltage is supplied by the electrical utility to power household appliances, lighting, and electronics. When a device is plugged into a 120V outlet, the voltage provides the necessary electrical energy for the device to function properly.
Could a lamp bulb 110v-130v 2w 17mA be used on a 120v 40w bulb max lamp?
Yes. As long as the voltage is designed for the lamp and the socket and fixture can handle the heat (from the rated power in watts), you can. You will probably find that the socket or connector for this lamp is different than the one intended.

What is difference between 2000W and 1500W and how to find out how much powerelectricity each consumes?
To find the power will depend on the voltage the item uses. Assuming a 120 volt circuit divide the wattage by the voltage, this gives the amps used. 2000w / 120v = 16.67 amps. 1500w/ 120v = 12.5 amps used.
