Home Appliances

This will depend upon the current draw of the ACs as well as the size of the circuit. My guess, based upon what 240V units tend to draw, is that you probably won't be able to, especially if the circuit is only 15 Amps. With a 20 Amp, you MIGHT be able to. You will have to check the nameplates on each unit to find what the current draw is and ADD THEM TOGETHER. And remember that AC units should be considered a continuous load. This is when a load may run for three hours or longer. Here, you must "derate " the circuit by 80%. So a 15 Amp circuit should only have a load of 12 Amps; while a 20 Amp should have a load of only 16 Amps. My best "guesstimate" is that they will need their own circuit.

You will have to call somebody. The reason for this could be one of many. I am not trying to alarm you but after checking the basics, if you cannot get it to run at least you will not have paid for a tripped breaker or something silly like that. The question does not give enough info to lead you in any direction other than to check the silly stuff. If you do check things and have a specific question. Please repost.

A typical electric range oven element uses around 240 volts. It is designed to provide the necessary heat for cooking and baking in the oven.

If you have 120 v at the wires connecting to the light fixture the light should come on. Its possible the voltage is not getting to the inside of the socket. Carefully measure the voltage between the metal blip at the bottom of the socket and the metal along the sides. Be careful here. Its tight quarters and easy for the voltmeter leads to touch the wrong things. Before doing that I would try a third light bulb. I've gotten them bad right out of the package. If you have voltage inside the socket, then for some reason the light bulb is not screwing far enough down so the bottom touches that metal blip on the bottom of the socket. If you don't have voltage inside the socket then that's your problem and you'll need a new socket.

It depends on the type of appliances. Many US appliances can be used in Canada without an adapter, as both countries use 120V electricity. However, you may need a plug adapter to fit the US plug into Canadian outlets. It is always recommended to check the voltage requirements of your specific appliance before using it in a different country.

If your thermostat is turned off but the air conditioning unit fan outside is still spinning, it could indicate a problem with the fan relay or a control board issue. This can cause the fan to run continuously even when the system is supposed to be off, leading to potential wear and tear on the fan motor. It's advisable to have a professional HVAC technician inspect and diagnose the issue to prevent further damage to the system.

True, 220 volt appliances consume less energy than 110 volt ones, but in order to use them in the US, you would need to convert them to 110 voltage. This is a less efficient use of energy. Plus, 220 volt appliances are a more risky because people can get seriously injured if they get shocked from them.

That the appliance does not need a electrical transformer and uses the US standards for electricity off the grid.

12-V a.c. is a root-mean-square value, which is exactlyequivalent to 12-V d.c., so the brightness of the lamp will be identical, regardless of whether it is connected to an a.c. or d.c. source.

It is not safe or recommended to wire an electrical fuse box with an extension cord from a 110 outlet. Extension cords are not rated for permanent installation and can pose a fire hazard. It is best to hire a licensed electrician to properly wire the fuse box to a dedicated circuit with the appropriate wiring and components.

The washing machine may dance across the floor during the spin cycle even with a balanced load and level machine due to uneven distribution of clothes inside the drum. This can cause an imbalance during the high-speed spinning, leading to the machine vibrating excessively. Checking the movement of the machine's feet and ensuring they are properly stabilized can help reduce this issue.

Food does not go bad anymore, meaning food can be stored, meaning that more food could be made because more would be wasted, meaning agriculture benefited from the fridge, and so did companies that make the fridge. +1 point for capitalism.

There is a clear hose attached to the water level control of the washer. The other end of the hose is attached underneath the washer. The hose isn't attached with any hose clamps so if the washer rocks from a uneven load it could come disconnected and on the next load the water fills up and never stops. Just disconnect the water and electric and the drain and turn the washer on its side look for the hose and reattach it to the hookup underneath-- I just fixed mine, I thought I was going to be buying a new washer but this one still works great now! Hope this helps- Jesse

My family has for as long as I can remember and We're still well and healthy. Just use common sense and use it as soon as possible and if there's the slightest hint (bad smell or taste) of spoilage, toss it. We always cover can tightly w/plastic wrap fastened with a rubber band. I would'nt keep it more than 3 or 4 days max.

If an appliance is plugged in but the switch is OFF, the electrician should always consider the appliance as

A. hazardous. C. safe.

B. ungrounded. D. de-energized.

Yes, a BB pellet could potentially damage a washing machine if it were to get inside the machine and interfere with its moving parts, such as the drum or pump. It is best to avoid introducing any foreign objects into the washing machine to prevent damage.

It depends on a lot of things that are impossible for us to answer:

# Is there gas piped into the building already or will you need to use gas bottles? # How much do you want to pay for a gas radiator? There are many different kinds. # Can you install it yourself or will you have to employ someone? Or will the store install it as part of the price?

It is not recommended to place a refrigerator next to a hot water heater. The heat from the water heater can affect the refrigerator's cooling system, causing it to work harder and potentially reducing its efficiency. It is best to keep appliances like refrigerators away from sources of heat to ensure they operate effectively.

If you are smelling lighter fluid during drying, it is possible that there is a leak in the gas line connecting to the dryer. This is a serious safety hazard, and you should immediately turn off the gas supply to the dryer and contact a professional technician to inspect and repair the issue before using the dryer again.

You should not modify electrical plugs or outlets. If your stove has a 3-prong plug and your outlet is 4-prong, you should consider hiring a licensed electrician to install the correct outlet for your stove. Mixing and matching plugs and outlets can create a safety hazard and violate electrical codes.

First, convert the heater's power usage to kilowatts: 260 watts = 0.26 kilowatts. Next, calculate the energy consumption: 0.26 kW * 4 hours = 1.04 kWh. Finally, multiply the energy consumption by the cost per kWh: 1.04 kWh * $0.20/kWh = $0.208. So, running a 260 watt heater for 4 hours would cost approximately 20.8 cents.

Running your home on 90 volts could potentially save money on your electricity bill, as lower voltage usually means lower power consumption. However, it could also lead to issues with appliance functionality and potential damage, as most appliances are designed to run on standard voltages (110-120V in North America). It is recommended to consult a professional electrician before making any changes to your home's voltage.

Not unless you have 277 volts in your garage. Open the fixture and check the ballast. Some of the commercial fixtures have multi tap connections for different voltages. If 120 or 240 volt tap is present then you can use the fixture.

To wire a 3-wire appliance to an L14-20 plug, connect the green ground wire to the ground terminal, the white neutral wire to the silver terminal, and the black or red hot wire to the brass terminal. Make sure to follow proper safety precautions and consult a professional electrician if you are unsure of the wiring process.

Light is energy. Light is made of massless particles called photons that travel at the speed of light. Photons at a given frequency carry energy equal to the Planck constant times the photon's frequency.
