Yes, a 130 watt fan can be plugged into a 120 volt receptacle. The current draw will be I = W/E, Amps = Watts/Volts = 130/120 = 1.08 amps.

Why would an in line fan work on a GFCI outlet then trip the outlet and Nothing changed?

The in line fan may be drawing too much power for the GFCI outlet to handle, causing it to trip. The outlet may not be faulty; rather, it is doing its job by tripping to prevent electrical hazards. Consider using the in line fan on a different circuit or using a lower wattage fan to prevent further tripping.


How do you wire a 3 wire exhaust fan to a 4 wire outlet?

The fan is probably a 115 VAC single phase fan and the outlet is probably a 230 VAC "two phase" outlet. The fan would then have the following wires: hot (black), neutral (white), and ground (green). The outlet would then have the following wires: hot #1 (black), hot #2 (red), neutral (white), and ground (green). Pick either of the two hot wires on the outlet and connect the hot wire of the fan to that (ignore the other hot wire on the outlet) and connect the neutral to neutral and ground to ground. If the wire colors are not as I described above you may have something else (e.g. 3-phase) and that would be wired differently, but those systems are usually used only in industrial settings not the home.

Can you convert a wire that was hard connected to a oven Fan to an outlet?

Yes, with some provisions. The breaker sets the maximum current your system can carry. It must be the weakest link in the chain. You cannot exceede the current capacity of the wire, or the outlet. So, for a standard US outlet you want a 15A 120V circuit. If the wiring is 14ga or heavier it is fine. If the breaker is a 15A 120V breaker it is fine. If either of the two are not fine, they must be replaced before this can be done safely. If you are not confident in your abilities, buy a book. It will answer your questions and serve as a handy reference during the job. Remember, do it right or hire a professional. Negligence is fatal with electricity.
