Do not attempt this!
If you need a 220V outlet in a location where there is an existing 120V outlet(s) hire an electrician to run entirely new 220V wires from the breaker panel. He may even have to add a new dual pole breaker for the new circuit (use of two standard single pole breakers on a 220V circuit is a code violation, which is what you would get if you did somehow connect two 120V lines and actually get 220V).
What else can I help you with?
How does a transformer work on a 120 volt coil contactor with 220 volt feed?
A transformer works by utilizing electromagnetic induction to convert voltage levels between circuits. In the case of a 120-volt coil contactor connected to a 220-volt feed, the transformer steps down the voltage from 220 volts to 120 volts. This is achieved by having a primary winding connected to the 220-volt feed and a secondary winding with fewer turns of wire that supplies the 120-volt output, allowing the contactor to operate safely and effectively without being damaged by the higher voltage.
Can you plug the norelco 905rx into 220 volt outlet?
No, the Norelco 905RX is designed for 110-120 volt outlets and should not be plugged into a 220 volt outlet as it may damage the device. It's recommended to use a voltage converter or transformer that is suitable for your particular device in order to safely use it with a 220 volt outlet.
If 220 volt appliances consume half the power of 110 volt appliances why aren't refrigerators being sold in the USA with 220 volts?
True, 220 volt appliances consume less energy than 110 volt ones, but in order to use them in the US, you would need to convert them to 110 voltage. This is a less efficient use of energy. Plus, 220 volt appliances are a more risky because people can get seriously injured if they get shocked from them.
How do you convert a German 220 volt chandelier to USA 110 volt?
If you want mood lighting just connect it as is, the brightness of the bulbs will be half. If you want full brightness change the bulbs to 120 volt with bulbs of the same wattage as the 220 volt bulbs.
Can i use led lamp 120 volt in 220 volt?
No, a 120-volt LED lamp should not be used in a 220-volt socket, as it can cause the lamp to fail or even pose a fire hazard. The voltage difference can damage the lamp's internal components. If you need to use a 120-volt lamp in a 220-volt environment, consider using a step-down transformer or a voltage converter designed for this purpose. Always ensure compatibility to avoid safety risks.
How do you convert a 110 volt chandelier to 220 volt?
you don't. you just take and use 120 volts from the 220. At least that's what I'd do.

How can you rewire your 220 volt motor to run on 120 volts?
If a motor is designed to run on different voltages there will be a wiring diagram on motor plate for 120 volt wiring. If not you will have to use a step up transformer to convert 120 V to the higher voltage.
Can a 220 volt side lamp be used on 120 volt?
Yes. But not the other way. 120 volt one, cannot withstand 220volt.
Can you use 220 volt light bulb on 120 volt system - I know the reverse would probably blow the bulb so wouldn't European 220 Volt do ok in 120 volt socket or would it be dimmer than it normally would?
Yes a 220 volt light bulb will run on a 120 volt circuit but at 1/4 of the wattage that the light bulb is rated at. A 100 watt light bulb on 220 would would be equal to a 25 watt light bult on 120 volt system.

Can you use a 120 volt - 500 watt bulb in a 220 volt lamp?
no , it will burn out
Kitchen range which is 220 volts but their is only 110 volt outlets as power throughout the house no 220 outlets.?
your outlets work on AC current(alternating) meaning it cycles from -120 volts to +120 volts 60 times a second.... there are two phases in your house at 180degrees of electrical separation(meaning that while one phase is +120 the other is at -120, +90 -90.. etc etc assuming they are phased properly. so.... from -120 to 0(120 volts of difference in potential) then from 0 to +120(120v diff in potential) you get 240 volts for your stove. Im sorry i did this explanation with Canadian voltages and not American(110 vs 120 and 220 vs 240)

What remedy can you do if you plugged the 120 volt to 220 volt battery charger?
There is no remedy but to plug it into a 230 circut.
