How do you wire a 230 volt contactor with a 110 volt coil?

To wire a 230 volt contactor with a 110 volt coil, you need to connect the 110 volt power supply to one terminal of the coil and the neutral wire to the other terminal of the coil. Ensure that the contactor is rated for use with a 110 volt control circuit. Additionally, verify the wiring diagram provided with the contactor for proper connection details.


Can you hook up a 110 volt space heater into wiring that is 220 or will it burn out the heater?

No, you should not connect a 110-volt space heater to 220-volt wiring as it will likely cause the heater to burn out due to the higher voltage. You should always match the voltage requirements of the appliance to the electrical supply to prevent damage.


Do you need to change European wiring of a 3-bulb light fixture to American wiring and why?

The American system is 110 Volts and the UK (plus some other EU countries) are about 240 Volts. The formula is Volts X Amps = Watts. Don't panic, that's as hard as it gets. The problem is this, that for 240 Volts a current of .25 Amps is needed to light a 60 Watt bulb (240 X .25 = 60). At 110 Volts this would be about 110 X .5 = 60 giving over twice the Amps for the same Watts. The more Amps, the heavier the wires needed to carry the power. So, to be safe the fitting would have to be rewired. If in doubt contact an experienced electrician to rewire it for you. Better a few dollars than dialling 911 because the house is on fire!
