Voltage from a 240 volt source has 2 hot legs to ground. Leg to ground (netutral) voltage is 120 volts.
AnswerIf you are referring to the European system, then low-voltage distribution is a three-phase, four-wire system, with a line voltage (i.e. line to line) of 400 V and a phase voltage (i.e. line to neutral) of 230 V. A three-phase four-wire system comprises three line conductors and one neutral conductor.
The current in a 220 volt circuit depends on the resistance of the load connected to it. Ohm's Law (I = V/R) states that current (I) is equal to voltage (V) divided by resistance (R). So, the current will vary based on the resistance of the circuit.
With thick wires that have excellent insulation.
To install a 220-volt appliance at home, you will need to ensure you have the correct outlet and circuit in place. Hire a qualified electrician to install the appropriate outlet, usually a NEMA 6-15 or 6-20 for 220-volt appliances. Make sure the circuit can handle the load of the appliance to prevent any electrical hazards.
While you can physically do this it violates the Electrical Code. 110 Volt and 220 Volt receptacles are required by the Electrical Code to be on separate breakers for safety reasons, this would put them on the same 220 Volt breaker.
The question can't be answered - it has no meaning :)
The recommended wire size for a 220 volt circuit according to the 220 volt wire size chart is typically 10 gauge wire for a circuit with a maximum of 30 amps.
The recommended wire size for a 220-volt electrical circuit is typically 10-gauge wire.
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.
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.
The recommended wire size for a 30 amp 220 volt circuit is typically 10 gauge wire.
The appropriate wire size for a 220 volt 30 amp circuit is typically 10 gauge wire.
The current in a 220 volt circuit depends on the resistance of the load connected to it. Ohm's Law (I = V/R) states that current (I) is equal to voltage (V) divided by resistance (R). So, the current will vary based on the resistance of the circuit.
Can you supply three 220 -240 volt 16.6 amp infrared heaters with one circuit?
For a 220 volt circuit with a 30 amp capacity, the appropriate wire size would be 10 gauge wire.
NO - that is dangerous.
No. You need to rewire the circuit from the electric panel.
