Can you use an adapter to use a 120 volt appliance in a 240 volt outlet as there are some at the hardware store for 30?

If it is a 120/240V receptacle (such as for a dryer), then yes, there are two 120 volt leads and a neutral in the 240 circuit, the adapter is just using one 120 volt lead and the neutral to convert it to a 120 volt circuit.If the circuit is just 240V, then there is no neutral.As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.


What type of adapter can be used for a washing machine when you only have a 2 prong outlet?

Do not use an adapter. You need a properly wired outlet for a washing machine. A shock could kill you.


Is an adapter to go from a 3 prong dryer outlet to a 4 prong dryer cord available for purchase?

I would not recommend trying to use an extension cord for a dryer. the better option is to either buy a longer cord that is properly sized to deal with the extra distance or have an electrician come out and either move the outlet or custom make you a longer cord for your dryer.

You may be able to buy bottled gas that will run your dryer. You may have to use the sun and the wind to dry your clothes.


What is the difference between a 4 prong dryer outlet and a 4 prong stove outlet?

The four blade dryer plug brings a separate ground wire from the machine to the electrical grounding system. The three blade dryer plug depended on the neutral wire of the plug to make this connection.

Can you use your laptop to the power outlet in UK?

Depends on the PSU, the box on the cord. If it says 120-240 volts, then you can, but you also need an adapter as the outlet itself is different.


How much power will a 230v adapter pull from a 120v outlet?

Power is multiplication of voltage and current. You need to know the load current drawing to establish the power. It is a bad idea to use 230 v adapter in 120 volts outlet


How far from a laundry tub faucet should you install an electric dryer outlet?

There is no requirement on the distance the dryer must be from a sink. Any 120 volt outlet must be GFCI protected if it is within 6 feet of a sink. There is no requirement for a 240 volt dryer outlet. I would not want the dryer right next to the sink and I would want the dryer to be on a 4 wire circuit and not a 3 wire circuit. Use common sense here.

I have a stackable that plugs into the dryer but the 220 outlet and washer hookups are separate in my new home Is there an adapter that would allow for separate use of the washer in its own outlet?

If the dryer itself already includes a socket outlet that was designed to power a stackable washer then you should have no problem as long as the home's Dryer Circuit, and its breakers, can support the extra Kilowatts of power which the washer will take.To your question "Is there an adapter that would allow for separate use of the washer in its own outlet" the answer is No.Even if the stackable washer is mounted on top of the dryer it may still be possible to plug the washer into the existing, but separate, socket outlet that is intended to power a washer. If you cannot do that then it is best that you call in a licensed electrician to advise you.IF YOU NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.If you do this work yourself, always turn off the power at the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work AND always use a meter or voltage indicator to insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.
