Can you run a 240v appliance ie a radio that's plugged into a socket connected to a 110v system on a market stall. h-accessories.co.UK by the way?
NO The radio will actually run at about 6 volts via an internal transformer. If you plug it into a 110v supply you will only produce 3 volts which is the same as trying to run it with flat batteries. The only way is to use a 110v to 240v transformer which will be rather large, cumbersome and heavy.
Is there a difference between Australian and American power supplies?
There is a difference. For one thing, Australia works at 50hz and America at 60hz, and in domestic supply, Australia works at 240v and America at 110v.
Can 110v circuit power 240v devices?
You need a step-up transformer, to go from 110 to 220-240 volts. Then a 110 volt supply can operate 240 volt equipment.
240v box outside for a hot tub you need a 110v receptacle Can you wire it off the 240v box?
Using a box that is hire voltage than what you need can cause a short, and even a fire. So using a 240V box, when all you need is a 110v receptacle, wouldn't be a good idea.
How do you convert a 240v drill to 110v?
One word: KABOOM.
Can a 240V - 110V stepdown transformer be reversed to take a primary load of 180V to secondary 240Volts?
No
Can 240v tools be converted to 110v?
It would be better if you got a transformer and stepped up the voltage.
Is there any way to connect four 1500-watt heaters to 120V if they are currently connected to 240V and being used as a makeshift hobby oven?
No. If the heaters are designed for 220V they cannot fun off of 110V. Also running a 1500W heater off of 110V would require a dedicated circuit. So four 1500W heaters would require 4 dedicated 110V circuits.
You want to buy speakers to use in Europe where the volt supply is 220-240v If you buy speakers in the US that work in the US are they compatible with European voltage?
If you are just buying speakers then they do not connect directly to a mains supply. Therefore, as long as they are connected to an amplifier with a suitable speaker output, they will work with no problem. On the other hand, if the speakers have an amplifier built in and are connected to the mains supply, they are unlikely to work on a 230V European supply if they are rated for a 110V supply. There are some exceptions to this such as multi voltage power supplies for example. If you are not 100% sure, assume that they will not work and avoid damage and personal injury.
Can you rewire a 240v lamp light fitting or small appliance to 110v and if so how?
Yes, you need a transformer
Does an 180 volt appliance require 240 volt supply?
No, it requires a 180 Volt supply. Most appliances work +/- 10%, in this case 162 Volts to 198 Volts. I would question whether your appliance is really 180 Volt. No country uses this as domestic supply, it is usually 110V or 220-240V.
Can 110v tools be used with 240v without using a transformer by switching the plugs?
No. Trying this will likely destroy the tool and may likely cause injury. The plugs are made differently to prevent them from being connected to incorrect power sources.
