To be simple, you can't. You can convert the plug but then the appliance won't work and possibly start a fire. Electricians are not trained as heart surgeons but playing with something you don't understand is like taking your life in your own hands.....pkazsr

∙ 11y ago220 volt heater on 110 volts
The load is a resistive load and as such it is governed by Ohm's law. Current is directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance. As the voltage goes down so does the current. 2200 watt heater at 220 volts = 10 amps. R = E/I = 220/10 = 22 ohms of resistance in the heater. Now take the 2200 watt heater and using the same formula and at 110 volts. I = E/R, Amps = Volts / Resistance. 110/22 = 5 amps. As you can see ohm's law holds true, the current is inversely proportional to the resistance and as the voltage goes down so does the current. To answer the question, yes a 220 volt heater will run on a 110 volt circuit but at a reduced wattage. W = A x V = 5 x 110 = 550 watts instead of 2200 watts at 220 volts.

What is the difference between an electric mobile home hot water heater vs a regular electric hot water heater?
Not much actually,a Mobile Home water Heater has the water connections going into the side where as a Regular Water Heater has the connections at the top. So if you have enough room above a mobile home water heater you can install a regular water heater no problem.However a lot of mobile homes do not have room above the water heater so your forced to use a Mobile Home water heater instead.

Plugging an electric heater into a GFI outlet caused the lights and other outlets to go out but didn't trip the circuit breaker why?
A GFCI receptacle can pass it's "protection" to other outlets wired from it. If the GFCI trips, all outlets wired from it will "trip" also. A GFCI tripping will not necessarily trip the circuit breaker in the service panel.

Outlets can be located 6 inches above electric baseboard heaters?
NO! No outlets may be installed above a baseboard heater, no matter how high, it's against code. (also dangerous for any electrical cord from that outlet that could rest against the hot heater) Good luck Ed
