No, this should not be done. If the appliance is a heater it will operate over its given specified wattage. A 200 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 a 200 volt supply but the wattage will be reduced. For example if the heater is 5000 watts at 200 volts, the current is I =W/E 5000/200 = 25 amps. The resistance of the heater is R = W/I (squared) =5000/25 x 25 (625) = 8 ohms. Applying 240 volts on the same heater whose resistance is 8 ohms results in this new heater wattage rating. W = E (squared)/R = 240 x 240 (57600)/8 = 7200 watts. This is 2200 watts higher than the manufacturer's safety rating. W = watts, I = amperage, R= resistance in ohms and E = voltage.

250 volt appliance work in 220 volt world zone?

normally, appliance are built in 110v or 220v, applied in 100-140v and 200-240v. if your 250v appliance is common home appliance equipment, then 220volt is ok, i think. otherwise, you should ask the vendor for special power supply.


Will a 240 volt appliance work with 200 volt supply?

Yes in most cases. If you live in the US and your appliance was made to work in the US and you have Two Hot conductors, red and black and your appliance says its rated for 220 V your ready to roll. If you live in the US and your appliance was made to work elsewhere in the world with the exception for Canada then its very doubtful. The US uses Split-Phase 240V so you can get 120V Circuits also and most of the rest of the world uses 240V Single Phase right to their regular receptacles. 220V is an archaic term and is meant to be used in the 220V-250V range


What gauge wire do have to have for 110 volt 30 amp service 200 ft away?

For a 200 ft distance, you should use at least a 8 gauge wire to minimize voltage drop and ensure safe operation for a 30 amp, 110 volt circuit. It is important to consult a licensed electrician to determine the specific wire size needed based on the load and local electrical code requirements.


Can you use a 8 volt 200 mA adapter to power a 6 volt 200 mA device?

It might work if the device that you are plugging it into has its own voltage regulator, there is no way of knowing this. Personally I would not take the chance. When a manufacturer designs a piece of equipment it uses a specific voltage for the circuitry to operate on. Varying from this voltage is not a good idea and most likely it will void the warranty if the device becomes inoperable.


How do you wire 220 volt 200 amp diagram?

With thick wires that have excellent insulation.

Will 200 volt appliance work in with 240 volt supply?

It will work but not as efficient as the manufacturer designed it to. If motors are involved in the appliance they will run hotter as they will draw a higher amperage due to the lower voltage. Appliances with a wattage rating for heating elements will not reach their nameplate wattage rating.


Will a 500volt 50hz squirrel cage motor run on 380volts 50hz?

No, the voltage of 500 volts is too high to operate a 380 volt motor.

How Convert 200 volt to 230 volt?

If a precision voltage is needed from 200 to 230 an auto transformer could be used. If the load is a 230 volt motor to be operated on 200 then add 15% to the nameplate full load amperage for the calculation for overload protection.

What circuit takes electricity in and around your home?

Most houses have several circuits each with its own circuit breaker so that the power to the whole house will not all go off at the same time. Each circuit consists of a three-wire cable, live/neutral and earth. Some countries also use split-phase circuits with four wires.
