No, in North America the plug configuration will not allow that to happen. The blade configuration for 120 volts are in parallel where as the 220 volt configuration are in tandem.

Can you plug a 120v 20 amp wielder into a 240v 40 amp outlet?

No, it is not safe to plug a 120v 20 amp welder into a 240v 40 amp outlet. The voltage difference is too high and could damage the welder. It is important to match the voltage and amperage of the welder with the corresponding outlet.


Can you convert a 30 amp 120V RV receptacle into a normal 120V outlet?

You can, but your circuit will be "protected" by a 30 amp breaker. So you'll have to consider the safety issues of having wiring and appliances that can draw up to 30 amps before tripping the breaker. Will the wiring and circuity support that much current without damage? If not, then switch to a 15 or 20 amp breaker.


If you have a 240V 22A welder which has a plug similar but smaller than a dryer plug can you use this in a 120V outlet?

No, a 240V 22A welder requires a 240V outlet for proper operation. Plugging it into a 120V outlet will not provide enough power and could damage the welder or create a safety hazard. It is important to always use the correct voltage and amperage for electrical appliances.


Can you run your neon sign of 120v 50hz 60hz 0.6a 7.5kv 30mA in an Australian 240v power outlet?

No. The neon sign is fed by a step-up transformer. Primary side 120V, secondary side 7500V. If you applied 240 to the primary side you would get 15000 volts on the neon tube. A flash over and then nothing. If you can find a transformer from 120V to 240V or 240V to 120V then you are good to go. Connect 240V to 240V side and you will get 120V out the other, connect the 120V side to the neon sign and you should have light. Transformer should be at least 100va. This will give you an output of .83 amps at 120V


Can you plug 117v to 120v outlet?

Yes, you can plug a device rated for 117V into a 120V outlet. The slight difference in voltage is generally acceptable since most devices are designed to handle a range of voltages. However, always check the manufacturer's specifications to ensure safe operation. If the device has specific voltage requirements, using a voltage converter may be advisable.

What is voltage for magic bullet?

The term "magic bullet" often refers to a concept in medicine or technology rather than a specific electrical device, so it doesn't have a defined voltage. If you're referring to a specific product or device known as a "magic bullet," such as a kitchen blender, the voltage would typically depend on the model and country of use, commonly ranging from 110-120V in North America or 220-240V in many other regions. For precise information, it's best to check the product specifications.
