What else can I help you with?
Can you take a 240V circuit and run it into another box running 4 120V breakers off it?
Yes you can. What you cannot do, is exceed the number of amps. the feed breaker has. For example: Your 220 is rated at 60 amps. The combined amps the four 110 breakers cannot be more than eighty percent of 60 amps. You can even run a 110 as the feed, into a box, and run a 220 from that. It's the amps you must go by. btw the eighty percent of 60 is what is considered safest. It is possible to draw the full 60 amps., but this can cause the breaker or fuse to overheat, and either catch on fire, or kick out. Good luck, and always consult your local codes before doing any electrical work. If unsure, it is best to have a professional do the job. Yes it is expensive, but what is the cost of losing that which means the most, due to a fire, from faulty wiring?
How do you rewire a 220 volt receptacle to produce 110 volts?
A 220 volt receptacle is a receptacle which has 2 wires carrying 110 volts...it has two "hot" wires at 110 and a neutral or common leg which has no voltage. A 110 volt receptacle is a receptacle which has 1 wire which carries 110 volts and a common wire. The wiring in the USA is almost standardized now to where the two "hot" (carrying 110 volts) wires are colored black and red, and the common or neutral is white. To change a receptacle to 110 volts..you remove the red or black wire from the old receptacle and wire nut it off...leaving the other red or black to attach to the new receptacle (right side of receptacle usually, looking at it from the grounding hole on the receptacle ON THE BOTTOM). You then connect the white wire to the left side of the receptacle. This will provide only 110 volts now. If the wires are not black, red, and white..they may be black, black, and white. In most cases, the white wire is always the neutral or common wire. When in doubt, buy a voltmeter and check each wire to the metal box in the wall...the wires carrying the 110 volts will usually read 110 on the voltmeter (or 115, 118..etc). Good luck!
Can you put two 110 wires from different breakers together to get 220?
In an emergency it will heat half your oven or half your water heater because you only have half the supply voltage. The wattage must still meet the demand for the half power, Some special connections may be necessary to use 110 temporarly on the 220 circuits.
What does a circuit breaker look like for 110 volt?
A circuit breaker for a 110 volt system typically resembles a rectangular switch within a breaker box or electrical panel. It may have a switch or lever that can be toggled to the "on" or "off" position to control the flow of electricity in the circuit. The amperage rating on the breaker will indicate how much current it can safely handle before tripping to protect the circuit from overload.
Can you convert a 220 dryer into a 110 dryer?
Yes, it's called a step-up transformer because, if I understand correctly, you want to step up from a 110v power source to run a 220v dryer. Depending on the power (wattage) rating of the dryer, it will probably cost as much as having 220v service installed by an electrician. Furthermore, the 110v circuit must be fused for at least twice the current rating of the dryer, assuming the transformer is 100% efficient. This is because Power = Voltage x Current. If you halve the voltage (220 --> 110), you must double the current in order to maintain the same power rating. For example, if the dryer normally draws 20 amps at 220 volts, it will require at least 40 amps from a 110 volt circuit. This would require a 4000 volt-amp transformer-- a very pricey item indeed. If you opt for such a unit I would certainly consult a certified electrician.
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 can you get 110 volts out of a 220 volt circuit?
Depending on what you're trying to charge, if it doesn't require too much power, you might want to look into a 220 to 110 volt `stepdown' transformer. What? I want to raise the voltage, not lower it! Ok, so use the transformer in reverse. All of a sudden, 110 volts in, will give you 220 volts out. Just make sure the transformer has enough current carrying capacity to handle the load. An electrical supply outlet should be able to help you get what you need.
How do you connect 2 110 volts brown wires two blue wires and two ground wires in a 220 volts fuse box to converts 110 into 220 volts?
The specific colours of brown and blue suggests that this is a question from the UK or European area. On checking the IP address it shows that the question comes from Uruguay. 110 volts is not a common voltage to this area, so that 110 volts can not be converted to 220 volts because 220 volts is the common working voltage. If the question is asking about using 120 volt equipment in that country see related links below.
Can you use your America plug in Thailand?
I'm am currently plugged in using my Macbook directly into the wall jack. The only reason I can is because the power supply (the box part) can handle 110-240volts of electricity. US is 110-120 and Thailand is 220 apparently. If you look at you appliances they should tell you how much range they can handle (110~120V or 220~240V) If it isn't around 220 you can't use it, but they still fit in the wall. Don't do it though. Good luck!!!

How much voltage comes into a breaker box?
In the United States, the normal house that is being built has 220 volts alternating current to legs each one carring 110 volts ac to ground.
Plugged 110 volt Wii into 220 volt socket what damages happened?
The Adaptor that came with your Wii cable, hopfully, (the square box on the cable) Burns out and you now have to buy a new replacement Cable.

How do you convert a 110-220 motor from 110 to 220?
volts? no, but you can convert 240volts to 110 volts, thus powering your drill properly. What that means is that, by using a power "Inverter'' you may Invert 240 to 110, thus not having to brake your head thinking about changing the motor of your drill. ( power converted)= fron 110 to 240 ( power inverter)= 240 to 110 I think I am right.
Is it OK to plug your camper into a home electrical circuit?
never plug a RV in to a 220 it will burn everthing init up ,a/c, microwaves,TVs,convert box. alot of 50 amp plugs look like 220 but its not if you have a 30 amp unit u can run a cord from your house and plug up to it.
