How do you wire a 120v A base emter for 120v?

To wire a 120V A base emitter for 120V, you would typically connect the emitter to the ground, the base to the input voltage source (120V), and the collector to the load. Ensure you follow proper safety precautions and consult the specific datasheet for the A base emitter you are using for correct wiring instructions.


How can voltage increase to 240V when only 120V is coming from the breaker box?

This could occur if the 120V supply is split-phase, where two 120V lines are 180 degrees out of phase with each other. When measuring from one of these lines to the other, you would see 240V. This is a common setup in residential electrical systems in the United States.


How do you change a heater from 120 volts 3a to 240 volts 1.5 a?

the simplest solution is by connecting two 120v 3amps heater in series , the same can be used directly on 240v. However the current drawn will still be 3 amps & Not 1.5 amps. The heater output power will be double that of a single heater running on 120v. ( or equvalent to two heaters operating on 120v. supply ) A more expensive method is to use a stepdown transformer which can be powered on 240v & connect the heater on the transformer 120v side. this method will consume approx. 1.5 amps from the 240v supply.


How many watts in 120v-60Hz-12A?

To calculate watts, you can use the formula: Watts = Volts × Amps. For a 120V, 60Hz, 12A circuit, it would be: 120V × 12A = 1,440 watts. Therefore, the circuit uses 1,440 watts.


How many 120v lines enter a building from the power company?

Typically, a building receives two 120V lines from the power company, creating a split-phase system. These two lines are used to create a 240V supply for larger appliances and equipment within the building.

Can I use 120v 10a 1250 w cable for projector 110-240v power in India?

You can use 120v 10a 125w cable projectors 110-240v power in India.


Can you take single phase of 120V with a hot wire and a neutral step up to 480v and then step down to 2 phases of 120V or do you have to input 2 phases of 120v to get 240V out?

Theoretically that can be done with transformers, but the power available would still be limited by the circuit breaker on the original 120 v supply.


Can a 120V light fixture be used in India?

It can be if you connect two same watt lamps in series with each other. The 240 volt supply will drop 120 volts across each lamp.


You are building a new house and trying to decide between 120v and 240v which is better More practical?

In the US, both 120v and 240v will be needed for your home, as different appliances need different voltages. Your TV needs 120V, while your electric dryer and stove will need a 120V/240V supply. If you have an electric water heater, or central AC unit, they will need a 240V supply.


What will happen when the shunt motor is connected across the supply line directly?

If the motor is designed for 120V or 220V whatever the case, it will function properly.If it is a 12V motor and you supply 120V it will make a mess and you will probably get hurt from flying debris!


Will the light fixtures you buy in the U.S. work when you install them in your house in Canada?

Both Canada and the USA have a nominal 120V 60Hz AC supply grid, so fixtures bought in the USA should work when connected to electricity supplies in Canada.
