Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz power supply service. This is not a recommended practice. The reason 230 volt loads are on dedicated circuits is because of their load amperage. If two high amperage loads were to come on at the same time then the breaker would trip. If the total load was taken into consideration then the wire size would have to be rated for the total amperage and then the breaker would have to be sized to protect the wire. Most home 230 volt appliance loads consist of range 40 amps, dryer 30 amps, hot water tank 20 amps. There are non appliance loads on 230 volt in which more than one are connected which include space heating baseboard heaters.

What is 220 volt with one hot leg only?
A 220 volt system with one hot leg only means that only one of the two legs of the circuit is providing power, resulting in a single-phase supply. This can occur due to a fault or a break in the electrical connection. It is important to have both hot legs connected for proper operation of a 220 volt system.
Are heat pumps 220 or 110?
Heat pumps typically use a 220-volt electrical supply, as they require more power compared to standard 110-volt appliances. This higher voltage allows heat pumps to efficiently transfer heat from one place to another, helping to heat or cool a space effectively.
What does a volt do in a circuit?
A volt is a unit of electrical potential difference or voltage in a circuit, representing the force that drives electric charge to flow through a conductor. It indicates how much energy is available to move electrons from one point to another, effectively enabling the operation of electrical devices. In essence, higher voltage means a greater potential to do work, such as powering appliances or lighting.
On a 220 volt circuit where the white wire is common how many volts would the red wire be?
3 OR 4 . you only need 2 wires for 220, 1 phase is 120v between 2 of them its 220v . you also should have a ground for the third wire ,and the newer stuff requires a neutral or white wire for the 4th wire. hope i helped , D
Can you terminate a 110 circuit and a 220 circuit in one box?
No, do not put terminate 2 different voltages in one box.
Can you supply three 220 -240 volt 16.6 amp infrared heaters with one circuit?
Can you supply three 220 -240 volt 16.6 amp infrared heaters with one circuit?
What happens when two wires are connected?
Wiring to the circuit breakers is 220 volts. The circuit breaker box has 2 110 Volt lines. If you connect two black lines together from one side nothing happens. If the these two black wires are from different circuit breakers you may have a safety issue by back feeding the electricity. If you connect 2 different 110 volt lines you will end up with a short. This ends up as a 220 volt short.

How connect a transformer 380 volt 3 pH to 220 volt mono pH?
any one of the three line to neutral is 220 volts
Does a 220 volt ac contact get a positive and a negative?
A 220 vac circuit has 2 hot wires and a neutral. The neutral stays at 0 volts and the hot wires vary between positive and negative. When one is positive, the other is negative.
Can a 220 volt side lamp be used on 120 volt?
Yes. But not the other way. 120 volt one, cannot withstand 220volt.
How do you get a 220 volt single phase from 380 volt 3phase synchrounos generator?
220 volt single phase from 480 volt 3 phase that one wire taken one phase and second wire connected in earth point. we get 220 v The above answer is incorrect, one phase from a three phase 480 volt system will give you 277 volts to ground. You must use a transformer to get the voltage you need.
17.60amperes what is the equivalent in horsepower?
That will depend on the voltage together with the amperage. Multiply voltage times amperage to get the watts. There are about 746 watts to one horsepower. A 220 volt circuit at 17.60 amps would be about 5.2 horsepower.

What is meant by 220 volts AC?
In US household electrical service there are two "hot" 110 volt wires and one ground. Only one hot wire is connected to a normal outlet or light fixture. To wire a 220 volt alternating current outlet, both hot wires are connected to the outlet. This is used for appliances that need more power than is provided by 110 volts like electric ranges, clothes dryers, air conditioners.
