I am going to say NO.... Although it would be possible if you purchase a transformer (with the correct wattage rating) to reduce the voltage from 480 to 120.

Can you hook 220 water heater to 110?

No, you cannot directly hook a 220V water heater to a 110V power source. The different voltage requirements will damage the water heater or cause it to function improperly. It's essential to match the voltage requirement of the appliance with the power source for safe and efficient operation.


What causes a 220v wire to pull only 110v?

The fact that it's supposed to. Voltage is stated as the difference between the two wires carrying electricity to the load. When they bring power to the house from the utility, you get two wires carrying 110v but they're 180 degrees out of phase. Imagine one carries positive 110v and the other carries negative 110v. If you hook one of these wires plus a neutral (zero volts) to the load, you get 110v--110v over 0v. If you hook both of them to the load, you get positive 110v over negative 110v, or 220v. So...red to white is 110v, black to white is 110v, red to black is 220v.


Is it possible to hook up a 110V TV to a 220V outlet via a power converter?

Using a power converter, it is quite possible to run a 110V television on a 220V supply. The converter ensures that the television will only see 110V. However, the question implies that a television is being taken from one country to another. If that is the case, television signal standards vary throughout the world and RF tuners vary across the world. Although some televisions offer multi-standard operation, many do not. It is worth doing some extra research on the two countries in question before making a decision to ship a television anywhere.


Can you wire a 220 volt appliance on a 220 volt circuit using 110 romex?

First understand rolmex is not rated by voltage, there is no 110 V only rolmex. You might be referring to rolmex that has only two conductors (black & white) and a bare ground wire. Most 220 V "appliances" require two hot wires, a neutral and a ground. Check the hook up on your appliance. If it does require a neutral, then you need three conductor with ground wire. The important thing here is that you use the right size or gauge wire. The wire must be able to carry the appliances required amperage. Again, check the wiring hook up on your appliance and then check the amperage required. Then go to the hardware store, etc. and buy the correct size (gauge), and number of conductors in the wire. Tell the clerk in the electrical dept. exactly what your supplying power to and they'll likely get you the right wire.


Can i get 9V to 110V transformer in the market?

Sure. You can go a couple of ways. You can look for a 110v to 9v transformer, if you can find one, or you can get a 110v to 18v center tapped transformer. If you get the second one, when you hook up the 9v side, you connect between one of the ends of the 18v coil and the center tap. Right now you're thinking, "I said a 9v to 110v transformer, not a 110v to 9v." That you did, but transformers don't care about that--they'll step voltage up as readily as they'll step it down. (Back when all we had was tubes to work with, transformers with a 6v winding and a high-voltage winding--300v, 400v, 2500v, whatever--were very common because tubes need a LOT of voltage to work.) There are two things you really should think about here if you're trying to take 9v to 110v. First, if your intention was to get line voltage out of a 9-volt battery, stop right here. Transformers only work with AC voltage, and a battery puts out DC. The other thing is, if you've got 9v AC and you feed it into a transformer that will give 1A at 9V, 0.08A at 110V will come out of the unit. Eight one-hundredths of an amp isn't really enough to do anything with. If you want to get 1A worth of 110v from 9v, you need to feed (assuming perfect efficiency in the transformer, which you will not get) 12.5A at 9v, or 25A at 9v if you have a transformer with a more likely 50 percent efficiency. It's possible to step 9v up to 110v, but it's probably not worth your time to do so.

If I hook up an electrical device that requires 100V 500W with a transformer that outputs 110V 500W will this cause a problem?

No. But I am interested to know what the primary voltage to the transformer is.

How do I properly hook up a dryer cord to my new appliance?

To properly hook up a dryer cord to your new appliance, first make sure the dryer is unplugged. Then, remove the access panel on the back of the dryer to expose the terminal block. Connect the cord wires to the corresponding terminal screws, ensuring they are securely tightened. Finally, replace the access panel and plug in the dryer to test the connection.
