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.

Can you plug a 250 volt lamp into US outlet?

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.


Can you put a 120 v receptacle on a 240 v circuit breaker?

No, the electrical insulation rating of a 15 amp duplex receptacle is only rated at 130 volts. The 15 amp 240 volt receptacle is rated at 250 volts. The 240 volt receptacle also has a tandem pin configuration instead of the parallel configuration of the 120 volt device. The different pin configuration is so that a 120 volt electrical device can not be plugged into a 240 voltage receptacle.


Can a 250 volt fuse be used in a 240 volt air conditioner unit and how are they properly installed?

It is generally safe to use a 250 volt fuse in a 240 volt air conditioner unit. To properly install the fuse, make sure the power to the unit is turned off, remove the old fuse, replace it with the new one of the same size and rating, and then turn the power back on. Verify that the unit is functioning properly before regular use.


Can you use 250 watt bulb in a 150 watt lamp?

It is not recommended to use a 250 watt bulb in a lamp designed for a maximum wattage of 150 watts. Doing so can potentially cause overheating, damage the lamp socket or wiring, and create a fire hazard. Always use the correct wattage bulb recommended for your lamp to ensure safety.


What circuit breaker to install for 10 amp 250 volt circuit?

For a 10 amp, 250 volt circuit, you should install a circuit breaker rated for at least 10 amps and 250 volts. A common option would be a single-pole, 10 amp circuit breaker designed for 240-250 volt applications. Be sure to check the specifications and compatibility with your specific electrical panel.

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.
