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!
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.
It is not recommended to rewire a 120-volt motor to run on 220 volts, as it can damage the motor and pose a safety risk. It is best to purchase a motor designed to run on 220 volts to ensure proper functioning and safety.
Rewiring a 110 volt HID magnetic coil ballast to operate on 220 volts would require replacing the existing ballast with one designed for 220 volts. Attempting to rewire the ballast could lead to overheating, electrical failures, or even safety hazards. It is recommended to consult a professional electrician or purchase a new ballast suitable for 220 volts.
Technically, 110-volt and 120-volt receptacles are not exactly the same. However, in practical terms, they are often used interchangeably as the standard voltage in the United States has become 120 volts. Most modern appliances are designed to work within a range of voltages, so a device rated for 110 volts should work fine in a 120-volt receptacle.
No, the receptacle's rating is 240 volt and that is the maximum voltage allow to be applied to that device. To prevent this condition from happening 277 volt receptacles and switches have a larger box that they fit into. The retaining screws are set apart further that a 240 volt device which makes it impossible to install a 240 volt device in a 277 volt junction box.
No. You need to rewire the circuit from the electric panel.

1.00 volt
You tell yourself the 125 volt receptacle is a 120 volt receptacle. They're the same thing.
No, the receptacle's rating is 240 volt and that is the maximum voltage allow to be applied to that device. To prevent this condition from happening 277 volt receptacles and switches have a larger box that they fit into. The retaining screws are set apart further that a 240 volt device which makes it impossible to install a 240 volt device in a 277 volt junction box.
This will still only produce 12 volts. It will produce 1200 watts. watts is the result of Volts times Amps.
No. To prevent this sort of thing from happening, the 277 volt device and receptacle is physically larger that a 240 volt receptacle and will not fit in a regular receptacle junction box. For a 277 volt system the proper size junction boxes have to be purchased.
You don't. A ballast with a 347 volt input is a commercial ballast. The 347 volts comes from a 600 volt three phase four wire Y system. You can change the ballast out to a 120 volt and rewire the unit but in most cases it is cheaper to buy a completely new lighting fixture.
The formula you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts.
