Yes. If the plug (cap) end of the 250 volt lamp is compatible to the receptacle the lamp would work. The light output of the lamp would not be very bright. Because the working voltage is halved so would the light output.

30 amps on a 250 volt outlet can handle how many watts?

A 30 amp circuit on a 250 volt service could handle up to 7500 watts. That's if it's actually 250 volts coming in. You should check that with your meter.


Can you use a 240 Volt bulb in a 250 Volt lamp?

Yes if the bulb is an incandescent type of bulb.Further InformationThe voltage printed on a lamp is its nominal, or named, value. For example, the nominal voltage of the UK's supply (since January 1995) is 230 V. But this does not mean that the actual voltage is necessarily 230 V, as it does vary. In fact, it is allowed to vary from -6% to +10% of its nominal value -in other words, from 216.2 - 253.0 V. So, as you can see, it would be considered quite normal for a 240-V lamp to be subjected to 250 V.


What happens if you put a 20 amp 250 V plug into an 50 amp 250 outlet?

You would have a code violation, only a 50 amp/250V plug would fit into a 50 amp/250V receptacle. You would not have proper overload protection, the load could (worst case) call for more amps than it is rated for and catch fire before the breaker tripped.


How many amps does a 250 watt heat lamp draw?

To calculate the amperage, you can use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. If the heat lamp operates at 250 watts and is plugged into a standard 120-volt outlet, the amperage would be approximately 2.08 amps.


Can a portable air conditioner plug into a 110 outlet?

== == It is important that you should read see the answer to the Related Question shown below: "Can a European 230 Volt 50 Hz appliance be plugged into a 240 Volt 60 Hz wall outlet in USA or Canada?" Not only will "most" 230 Volt units run on 220 Volts, but your 220 Volt outlet is probably 240 Volts!220, 230, 240 ... all the same thingThe number used only tells how old the inquirer is.Actual values reflect the commercial power transmission secondary envelope.The present standard, commonly referred to as 120/240 actually can be as high as 125/250! 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.

Can you plug a 240 volt 16 amp deep fryer into a 250 volt 20 amp outlet?

Yes, you can plug a 240-volt, 16-amp deep fryer into a 250-volt, 20-amp outlet, as the voltage and amperage ratings are compatible. The outlet can safely provide the necessary voltage, and the amperage rating exceeds the fryer’s requirement. However, ensure that the plug and outlet are compatible in terms of physical design and grounding. Always follow local electrical codes and regulations for safety.


Can you plug a 110 volt air conditioner into a 250 volt outlet using some kind of adapter?

Yes you can - with a transformer. Maplin Electronics sell a converter that allows you to plug appliances that run on 110V into the normal UK mains. See the related.
