Does a socket use energy when it is turned on but the appliance connected is turned off?

No, a socket does not consume energy when it is turned on but the appliance connected to it is turned off. Energy is only consumed when the appliance is actively using power.


What affects the amount of electric energy an appliance uses?

The power rating of the appliance, the duration of use, and how efficiently the appliance converts electricity into its working output all affect the amount of electric energy an appliance uses. Additionally, factors like the size of the appliance, its energy-saving features, and how often it is used can also play a role in determining its energy consumption.

What happens when you plug 120vac appliance into a 30 amp line?

Most 30 amp home circuits are 240 V. If you try to run a 120 V appliance using 240 V, the appliance will immediately self-destruct.However... if you actually have a 30 amp 120 V line to which you want to plug in your appliance, the only issue would be fire protection. Circuit breakers are in place to prevent too much current from passing through a wire. Wires have the capacity to carry only a specific amount of maximum current. a 10 Ga wire is generally used in homes for a 30 amp circuit. It doesn't matter if it's carrying 120 or 240 V, it still needs to be a 10 AWG conductor.However, you need to make certain that all conductors, outlets and circuit breakers are matched to each other when wiring a home or business.The appliance will only use the amperage that it needs UP TO THE MAXIMUM RATING OF THE CIRCUIT, providing that the VOLTAGEmatches.So the short answer is, just make certain that the line voltage is right for your appliance and that the circuit is rated at a high enough amperage to handle the appliance.

I bought an appliance in the US and the voltage is 120 and I have bought a converter but one of the instructions is DO NOT use a converter with this appliance. How do I use it in a 220v outlet then?

Basically - you're stumped !... If there are explicit instructions with the appliance that you do not use a converter - there is a legitimate reason for NOT doing so ! Your only option is to purchase an equivalent appliance in the country you're going to ! One of the reasons they are telling you you are not to use a converter - is that most US converters are only 2-pin. The appliance you have may need an earth connection to maintain safety.
