Can a 5 volt. 1500 ma. power adapter be used to run a 4.5 volt appliance?
No, get a matching transformer and check the polarity and the milliamps.
Can you install a receptacle that is rated for 240 volts to a 277 volt line?
No, the receptacle's rating is 240 volt and that is the maximum voltage allow to be applied to that device. To prevent this condition from happening 277 volt receptacles and switches have a larger box that they fit into. The retaining screws are set apart further that a 240 volt device which makes it impossible to install a 240 volt device in a 277 volt junction box.
Were would 240 volt plugs be in a house?
Typically only on dedicated circuits for certain appliances like an electric dryer or hot water heater, electric oven or stove, resistance heating or perhaps central air conditioning. If there are 240 volt receptacles they are different than 120 volt receptacles so that you can't make a mistake and plug a 120 volt appliance into a 240 volt circuit.Answer 2Some countries use 115 Volts AC for household supplies, some use 220, 230 or 240 Volts AC.See the link below for a list of which countries use which voltage.
How many 120 V 20 amp receptacles are there?
2. There is a 20 amp 120 volt single recept or a duplex style. But the prong configurations are the same.
How can I install a 110 receptacle alongside a 220 receptacle using the 220 receptacle wires for power?
While you can physically do this it violates the Electrical Code. 110 Volt and 220 Volt receptacles are required by the Electrical Code to be on separate breakers for safety reasons, this would put them on the same 220 Volt breaker.
Can you get -5Volts as output when polarity is reversed?
yes.you can get 5v output even when the polarity is reversed. In a 5v battery, if u reverse the polarity, then u'll get the same 5v as output , but in the opposite direction.(i.e.,)-5v(negative 5 volt
Is 24 volt DC is equal to -48 Volt DC?
No. The value and polarity are different.
What happens if the direction of current at the terminals of a series motor is reversed?
No changes will occur by wiring a 110 volt motor in reverse polarity, rotation will always be the same. Some single phase motors are designed to be reversed ,but that is a function of the relationship of start windings and capacitors and requires some wiring changes in a motor junction box or an end terminal housing, not by just changing the incoming power.
How do you test speaker wire polarity?
Observe polarity and touch a 1.5 volt battery to the terminals and note the direction the speaker cone moves.
Can a 5 volt. 1500 ma. power adapter be used to run a 4.5 volt appliance?
No, get a matching transformer and check the polarity and the milliamps.
How do you tell generator on 1983 Honda gl 1100 works or not?
Start the generator and check the voltage output at the receptacles on the generator with an AC volt meter.

What will happen if the supply voltage polarity is reveresed for the case of using a diode with piv of 4.8 volt?
If we give more than 4.8 volt to a diode in reverse bias condition it will break down or destroyed.
How do you place charging leads to two 6 volt deep cycle batteries that are in series?
If the charger is a 12 volt DC machine, connect the leads to the two battery terminals that the load is taken from. Take care to note the polarity of the leads to the polarity of the battery terminals. There will be a short jumper cable between the two six volt batteries. The charger leads go on the opposite terminals of the two batteries that the jumper is connected to.
