Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hertz supply service.

The US runs 240V single phase in almost all residential applications.

It just so happens that the 240V is center tapped to make 120V/240V split phase, but that is still a single phase application.


For more information about the supply services in other countries, please see the answer to the Related Question shown below.

How many output amps is a 600kva generator at 240v?

To calculate the output amps of a 600kVA generator at 240V, you would use the formula Amps = kVA / Volts. In this case, it would be 600kVA / 240V = 2500 amps.


What kind of fuse need to use for 240V outlet?

For a 240V outlet, you should use a fuse that is rated for 240V. The fuse's amperage rating should match the amp rating of the circuit and be appropriate for the connected devices. It's important to use the correct type and rating of fuse to protect the circuit from overloading and electrical hazards.


Can a 7a 125v power cord be used in China which is 240v?

No, using a 7a 125v power cord in a 240v outlet in China could cause damage to your device or pose a safety hazard. You should use a power cord that is rated for at least 240v to ensure safe operation.


How do you use Japanese light bulb 100V in Malaysia which is 240V?

To use a Japanese light bulb (100V) in Malaysia (240V), you will need to use a step-down transformer to convert the voltage from 240V to 100V. This will allow the light bulb to function properly without being damaged by the higher voltage. Make sure to use a transformer that is rated for at least the wattage of the light bulb to ensure safe operation.


If you have a 240V 22A welder which has a plug similar but smaller than a dryer plug can you use this in a 120V outlet?

No, a 240V 22A welder requires a 240V outlet for proper operation. Plugging it into a 120V outlet will not provide enough power and could damage the welder or create a safety hazard. It is important to always use the correct voltage and amperage for electrical appliances.
