No. the plug configuration is different, just for that reason so that the two voltages can not be crossed over.

Can you plug in a 12 vdc fan to house current outlet?

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.

How do you wire a 110v supply for 220v heaters?

A 220v heater has two 110v lines coming into it--either two 110v lines with a neutral, like a range, or two 110v lines with no neutral, like a water heater. Unless there's a fan in the system, they only use two wires. It's cheaper that way. If you have a DEDICATED circuit for each 220v heater--one where there's only one thing on the breaker--and you have at least 10/2 wire (unless the amps call for 8/2 or 6/2 wiring, which happens), you can install a two-pole breaker to feed 220v to the heater. If you're just trying to plug the heater into an outlet and get it to work, you've got a problem in that you can't pull 220v out of a 110v outlet no matter how hard you try. Sorry.


How do you put a plug in my exhaust fan?

To put a plug in your exhaust fan, first ensure the fan is unplugged from the power source. If it doesn't have a plug, you'll need to attach a compatible plug to the fan's wiring: connect the fan's wires to the plug's terminals according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically matching colors (black to black, white to white, and green or bare to ground). Secure all connections, insulate them with electrical tape, and ensure the plug is firmly attached. Finally, plug the fan into a power outlet and test it to ensure it operates correctly.

What is the voltage on an indoor fan motor for a package ac unit?

The voltage for an indoor fan motor in a package AC unit typically ranges from 115V to 230V, depending on the specific model and design of the unit. Most residential package units use 115V, while some larger or commercial units might operate on 230V. Always consult the unit's specifications or the manufacturer's documentation for accurate voltage information.
