The answer is possibly. There is no guarantee that the insulation designed for the lower voltage will be adequate at the higher voltage. The danger of electric shock should not be scorned.

The cost of a new lamp is not daunting, and if the lamp is an heirloom item, then that value should enable the wiring and switches be upgraded. Don't take chances.

Does fluorescent lamp work by DC voltage?

Fluorescent lamps can be used in the District of Columbia.If you were really asking if they can be supplied with direct current, the answer is yes, but they really don't like it. They prefer to be supplied with alternating current, or AC, so you'd have to "chop" the DC or use it to drive an inverter, which will change the DC into AC.There are florescent lamps and CFL's made specifically for 12 and 48 VDC applications available through specialty alternative energy stores.


Can you lose 240v but not 120v from main power line to house?

Yes, it is possible to lose 240V while still having 120V from the main power line to a house. This can occur if there is a fault or disconnection in one of the phases supplying the 240V circuit, which typically consists of two 120V lines. If one phase is lost, the 120V circuits connected to that phase will be affected, but the circuits on the other phase may still function normally. However, this situation can lead to unbalanced loads and potential issues with appliances.


How much current will the lamp draw from the main line if a lamp is rated 40W and 220V?

The current drawn by the lamp can be calculated using the formula I = P/V, where P is the power (40 W) and V is the voltage (220 V). Substituting the values, I = 40 W / 220 V = 0.182 A. Therefore, the lamp will draw approximately 0.182 amperes of current from the main line.


Why does pole star appears to be stationary while earth rotates?

Imagine you are riding on a roundabout, with a lamp post in the middle of it. As you are riding you look upwards at the lamp, and it always seems to stay in the same place as everything else goes round you. In normal life the Earth is our roundabout and the Pole star is the lamp. It is called the pole star because it is in line with the Earth's north and south poles, on a line that we can call the lamp-post.

What has more resistance on a 120v line --- a 1400 W microwave or a 150 w electric can opener?

To determine which device has more resistance on a 120V line, we can use Ohm's Law (R = V^2 / P). For the microwave: R = (120V)^2 / 1400W = 10.29 ohms. For the can opener: R = (120V)^2 / 150W = 96 ohms. Therefore, the 150W electric can opener has more resistance than the 1400W microwave.


Why are you not getting 240v between the two hot wires?

Because they are "in-phase". In order to get 240v, you need two 120v Alternating Current lines that are 180° out of phase, that is, opposite phases. Only when one line is +120v and the other -120v will you see 240v between the wires.


What is the correct 120v line voltage thermostat wiring diagram for installation?

The correct wiring diagram for a 120v line voltage thermostat installation typically involves connecting the line and load wires to the appropriate terminals on the thermostat. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and consult a professional if needed to ensure proper installation and safety.

What will happen when the shunt motor is connected across the supply line directly?

If the motor is designed for 120V or 220V whatever the case, it will function properly.If it is a 12V motor and you supply 120V it will make a mess and you will probably get hurt from flying debris!
