NO, if you have motors that are 'convertable' -110 or 220/240, the higher voltage is more economical.

It costs the same regardless of whether the voltage is 120 or 240 volts. The bonus of using a higher voltage is on the installation wiring costs. At a higher voltage the current of the device is lower. This lower amperage permits a smaller size wire to be used. This only really becomes a cost saving factor in larger equipment. In small power tools the higher voltage range will allow you to double the distance from the supply source to the place where the power tool is needed.
Yes a transformer should be used. The steam table needs its correct voltage otherwise on 240 volts it will operate over its given specified nameplate wattage. A 208 volt heating element run off of 240 volt will have an output increase by 75 percent.
If you mean a dual voltage motor 120/240 then yes these will operate on a 240 volt home distribution system.
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.
Yes, if the motor is rated 240 volts 3 phase.There is such a thing as 240 volt 3 phase power.However if you are asking if you can use 240 volts single phase on a three phase motor, then the answer is no.
You would have to run new wires to obtain 240 volts or use a step-up transformer.
240
It won't run.
No, a 240 volt device runs on 240, and a 120 volt device runs on 120. Attempting to run a device on incompatible voltage results in damage.
No, unless the motor was wound for dual voltage operation, which it will state on the motor nameplate, a 110 volt motor run on 240 volts will be damaged.

No. The 1-phase 240 setting on your computer's power supply is for the 240V wall outlets in other countries. The 240 outlets in your home are 2-phase 240.
If you mean a dual voltage motor 120/240 then yes these will operate on a 240 volt home distribution system.
Yes, 120 and 240 volts can be run in the same conduit.
Depends on what is plugged into that plug and the current it is drawing.

To convert a 240 volt power source to a 120 volt power source using a 240 volt to 120 volt adapter, simply plug the adapter into the 240 volt outlet and then plug your 120 volt device into the adapter. The adapter will step down the voltage from 240 volts to 120 volts, allowing you to safely power your device. Make sure the adapter is rated for the appropriate wattage to avoid damaging your device.
