What else can I help you with?
Can you use the 220v 50hz appliances in 110v 60hz?
Depends. Some smaller stuff can usually run on both, in which case it will be printed on them. If it isn't, you can't run a 220v item on 110v.
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.
Where can one buy a 110V transformer online?
The online retailer Amazon currently has an 'Automatic Transformer Adapter 500W 110v/220v 220v/110v' on sale for $38.89. That's 51% lower than the list price of $79.99 and that's before the free shipping!
Can you use a 220v outlet to plug a 110v electronic device into?
You cannot directly plug a 110v device into a 220v outlet. This can cause damage to the device or even create a safety hazard. You would need a voltage converter or transformer to safely convert the 220v outlet to the appropriate voltage for the 110v device.
Can you use 110v of two phase insted 220v?
Yes, you can use 110V from two phases instead of 220V, but it depends on the specific application and equipment requirements. If your device is designed to operate on 220V, using 110V may not provide sufficient power, potentially leading to inadequate performance or damage. Additionally, ensure that the two 110V phases are correctly configured to avoid any electrical issues. Always consult an electrician or refer to the device's specifications before making changes.
What happens to a 220v 50hz stereo amplifier when connected to a 220v 60hz supply?
Nothing happens. The stereo has a transformer that converts the power to DC, and 50 or 60 Hz input makes no difference.
Will a device designed for 110v work on 220v?
No, a device designed for 110v will not work on 220v without a voltage converter.
Can a device designed for 110v work on 220v?
No, a device designed for 110v cannot work on 220v without a voltage converter.
How can I use a step-up transformer to convert 110v to 220v?
To convert 110v to 220v using a step-up transformer, connect the 110v input to the primary winding and the 220v output to the secondary winding of the transformer. The transformer will increase the voltage while maintaining the power output.
Can you attach an iron machine of 220v in a 110v socket?
No
Can you plug your 220V electric piano into a 110V socket?
No.
Why 220v and 110v was chosen as standard voltage in Brazil and not some other voltage?
220v and 110v are almost the only voltages used around the world because they are the most efficient.
Can you use the 220v 50hz appliances in 110v 60hz?
Depends. Some smaller stuff can usually run on both, in which case it will be printed on them. If it isn't, you can't run a 220v item on 110v.

An electric iron always draws a current of 3.4 amp from the 220v supply line what current will this electric iron draws when connected to 110v supply line?
1.7amp
What happens when both 110v leads are applied to one side of a 220v electric motor?
The breaker will blow because you are effectively causing a short circuit.
How do you wire a 110v supply for 220v heaters?
A 220v heater has two 110v lines coming into it--either two 110v lines with a neutral, like a range, or two 110v lines with no neutral, like a water heater. Unless there's a fan in the system, they only use two wires. It's cheaper that way. If you have a DEDICATED circuit for each 220v heater--one where there's only one thing on the breaker--and you have at least 10/2 wire (unless the amps call for 8/2 or 6/2 wiring, which happens), you can install a two-pole breaker to feed 220v to the heater. If you're just trying to plug the heater into an outlet and get it to work, you've got a problem in that you can't pull 220v out of a 110v outlet no matter how hard you try. Sorry.
