How do you tap into a 220v feed going to baseboard heater and get a 110v supply?
This is only valid in parts of the work using 110/220 Volt split phase power system. There will be 110V from each of the hot leads to ground/neutral, so connect your outlet to only one of the hot leads, the neutral lead and the earth ground lead. This may be a problem with a dedicated 220V circuit as there will likely be no neutral line. Another note - this could well cause an unbalanced electrical load across the two pole breaker. If the breaker has a rating of 20A and the 110V circuit draws much of that current, the heater will likely trip the breaker.
Can you use 120V lamps in Europe by just putting in a 240V bulb and a European adapter on the plug?
If all the components are rated to 220V, yes. Keep in mind that if the appliance was designed for 110V it may arc if 220 is run through it. If you don't know the device can handle 220V, don't run it at 220V. Chances are it was manufactured cleaply and cannot handle the extra voltage.
Can you run a 240V heater on 120V supply?
You can BUT it will not warm up to its rated amount, therefore, it probably will not perform its function well For more information see the answers to the Related Questions shown below. As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed. Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
Can a 240V baseboard heater work on a 120V outlet?
for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.A purely resistive 240 volt heater [baseboard unit] with no fan will operate when connected to a 120 volt source. Either of the two "hots" in the heater can be connected to the 120 volt grounded circuit conductor [neutral].The wattage output will be only one quarter of the rated watts, so it won't get mad hot, but it will work.A 2000 watt 240 volt baseboard heater unit [typically 8 foot] will only allow enough current to generate 500 watts at 120 volts.If the heater has a fan, then it won't work, because the fan motor won't operate correctly at the lower voltage.As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
Are 220V and 240V the same?
They are not exactly the same.In the US, the term 220V and 240V are often used inter changeably. However, for the imported electronic devices which are specifically intended to work only on 220V may be damaged from running it on 240V.Most 220V devices will work fine on 240V. However, on some devices (mostly the ones do not have voltage regulator), it will cause over voltage for internal circuits, which lead to shortened life.Yes, they are the same thing and used in US residential homes. If you take two 120v lines, each being 180 degrees out of phase with each other, you get 240v. Sometimes 120v lines drop as low as 110v, so the terms "110" and "220" are representing the voltage drop.This is not to be confused with 208v, which requires three 120v wires instead of two, with each wire being 120 degrees out of phase. Typically, residential homes do not have three phase wiring, so don't purchase anything requiring 208v power unless you know for sure that it is available.220 to 240 voltagesYes, 220 and 240 volts are a nominal figure in the same voltage range. It is brought about by the power company, as they have a responsibility to keep voltages within a certain 10% range. The load will only notice a difference of 1% on the load current. e.g. Wattage load of 2400. Amps = watts/volts. 2400/240V = 10 amps. 2400/220V = 10.9 amps. On a constant resistance as the voltage goes lower, the current goes higher and vice versa as the voltage goes higher, the current goes lower.
Would saudi 220v 60hz appliance work on malaysia 240v 50hz?
yes.
Will 220v 60hz work on 240v 60hz whitout any problem?
Most appliciances that are built for use with 220V would normally be fine with 240V. In most cases, they are also labeled 220-240V. Depending on how critical the application is, you should probably check with the manufacturer.
What is the difference between 220v and 240v electrical systems?
The main difference between a 220v and 240v electrical system is the voltage level. A 220v system typically refers to a split-phase system where the voltage is divided into two 110v legs, while a 240v system usually refers to a single-phase system with a higher voltage level. In practical terms, the difference is minimal and most appliances and devices can work interchangeably on both systems.
Can the Mac book Pro operate on English 220V electricity?
There will be no problems as the Mac laptops are designed to work internationally with a line voltage ranging from 100V to 240V.
Will operating a Mac book Pro on English 220V electricity injure the compute in any wayr?
There will be no problems as the Mac laptops are designed to work internationally with a line voltage ranging from 100V to 240V.
If you have a 220V tanning bed will it work with a 240V outlet?
Yes, it will work just fine. In the United States the voltage coming into homes and businesses is 240 volts but the term 220 volts is commonly used but they essentially mean the same thing.
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.
Will my iMAC work on a 220 current?
Do you mean a 220V as in a power in Europe? Then,Check your adaptor. It will tell you the input voltage. If it sates that the range of the input voltage in 100V-240V then YES you can plug in your adapter into a 220V outlet.Please note that some people advise that you plug in the adapter into the power before plugging it into the computer.
Will a device designed for 110v work on 220v?
No, a device designed for 110v will not work on 220v without a voltage converter.
How you determine correct size varistor for protect system which work with 220v AC?
You use varistor wich has the max voltage for that aplication example:vacuumcleanermax allowed voltage is 240v ac so you chose aprox. 250 V varistor.
