480 volt 60 Hz is a standard voltage in North America, but 50 Hz systems are more common in Europe and some other parts of the world. Voltage standards can vary by region, so it's important to check the local electrical codes and standards when determining the appropriate voltage for a specific location.

Can a 220 Volt 50 Hz appliance work on 240 Volt 50 Hz?

Yes, a 220 Volt 50 Hz appliance should work on a 240 Volt 50 Hz supply. The appliance would receive slightly more voltage, but typically a small variation like this should be within the appliance's acceptable range. Just ensure that the appliance is rated for the higher voltage to prevent any potential damage.


Low voltage lights equivalent to 110 volt lights in watts?

To convert low voltage lights (e.g. 12 volts) to wattage equivalent to 110 volt lights, you would divide the voltage by 10. For example, 50 watts in a 110 volt system would be equivalent to a 5 watt bulb in a 12 volt system.


How many amps is equal to 1 kilo volt amp?

A volt-amp or VA is equivalent to watts, provided the voltage and amperage are in phase. So 1 kilo volt amp is the same as 1 kilowatt. Wattage, or power, is equal to volts times amps. So the original question is effectively nonsense. The number of amps depends on the voltage. If the voltage is 1000 volts, then there's 1 amp in 1 kilo volt amp. If the voltage is 1 volt, then there's 1000 amps. If there's 50 volts, then the amperage is 20 amps. And so on.


What is the electricity voltage in Germany?

220/240 volt (double that in the USA). The critical thing to know is the frequency. In the States it is 60 Hz and in Europe is is 50 Hz (Hertz). This is important because anything with a motor and a power cable will be frequency dependant. Leave any device at home in the US when traveling or moving to Europe as it will not work if the motor is a 110/120 volt motor. For example, Washer Dryer, Refrigerator, Hair Dryer. Thing like a tape player, stereo, CD Player with a wall plug will work fine because inside the 110 unit it converts all electricity to a DC voltage so a typical voltage convert from 220 to 110 will do fine with these devices. On the other hand an item like a Hair Dryer is a 110 volt motor and cannot survive a 50 Hz attack and will burn up. You can by voltage converters in Germany when you get there.


Can 240 volt appliances from NZ run on 240 Volts in the US?

No, 240 volt appliances from New Zealand cannot run on 240 volts in the US. The electrical systems in these countries are different. Appliances intended for use in New Zealand are designed to operate on 230-240 volts at 50 hertz, while in the US, the standard voltage is 120 volts at 60 hertz. Using a 240-volt appliance from New Zealand in the US without a voltage converter or transformer could damage the appliance or pose a safety hazard.

Will a low voltage light work on 50 volts of power?

The input voltage must match (within a few percent) the rated voltage of the light. If you're using a 12 volt light, a 50 volt supply will destroy it within seconds. "low voltage" is not sufficient information to help you answer your question.

Why India produce 220 volt?

India's standard electrical supply for home outlets is 230 volts at 50 Hz. This is what the country has chosen for their supply. Lots of outer countries use the exact same voltage.


What size wire needed for 50 amp service 800 feet away 120 volt RV Trailer 3600 watts plus a security light or outdoor outlet What size breaker at the supply disconnect receiving panel disconnect?

A 500 MCM copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 50 amps for 800 feet on a 120 volt system. 500 MCM wire diameter is 1/2 inch. As you can see there will be trouble getting that size wire into a 50 amp breakers lug. On installations like this to offset the voltage drop at such a low voltage, a transformer should be used at both ends. The first transformer to raise the voltage and the second transformer to lower it at the 800 foot end. If you use two 480 volt transformers a #1 wire can be used between them. A #1 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 50 amps for 800 feet on a 480 volt system. By increasing the voltage you can see that a smaller wire size can be used. On an installation of this nature, a primary line should be brought to the RV site and a service distribution panel established at that point and any RV vehicles can then be fed from that service.

Do a 12 volt 50 watt bulb and a 230 volt 50 watt bulb draw the same current?

No, they do not draw the same current. The current drawn by an electrical device is determined by the power (Watts) and voltage (Volts) using the formula: Current (amps) = Power (Watts) / Voltage (Volts). So, the 12 volt 50 watt bulb will draw higher current compared to the 230 volt 50 watt bulb.
