Throughout the USA the normal supply voltage is 120/240 v in a split-phase 3-wire system using a neutral and two lives with 240 across the live wires and 120 v from either live to neutral. Appliances up to 1500 watts operate on 120 v and, above that, 240 v.

208 v three-phase is also used, which has 120 v from any live wire to neutral.

Larger users can get 480 v three-phase, with 277 v between live and neutral.

How do you wire 220 volt from 2 110 volt lines. you have a concessions stand that is wired for 220 but everywhere you have been lately just keeps giving you 2 - 110 volt line?

To create a 220 volt connection using two 110 volt lines, you need to connect them in series. Ensure the two 110 volt lines are out of phase (provide opposite polarity) and then connect them together. This will result in a 220 volt supply for your concessions stand. It's important to consult a professional electrician to ensure proper wiring and safety.

Can you connect 110 volt circuit breaker to 220 volt circuit?

No, you cannot directly connect a 110-volt circuit breaker to a 220-volt circuit. Circuit breakers are designed for specific voltage ratings, and using a 110-volt breaker on a 220-volt circuit can lead to improper operation, potential equipment damage, or safety hazards. If you need to work with a 220-volt circuit, you should use a breaker rated for that voltage. Always follow electrical codes and consult a qualified electrician for such modifications.
