What voltage or watts does a Kenmore sewing machine use in Canada Model No 385. 81764. I live in the UK and need a voltage converter to use it. I need to know how many Watts it uses.?

In Canada the voltage for such appliances is 120 volts. My wife's machine (Model 385) states .8 of an amp to operate. I am assuming that all 385 machines have the same motors and the numbers following the model number are styles for different types of additional features. Using the formula W = A x V, the wattage would be .8 x 120 = 96 watts. Purchase an adapter that is about twice the size that you need. One rated for 200 watts will be sufficient and even allow you to use it on other 120 volt devices that you may have. Before plugging other devices into it always use the formula to see if it will handle the amps on the devices nameplate and that the device requires 110 to 120 volts.
Another formula you might like to use to size the adapter is I = W/E.
200/120 = 1.6 amps.
A 300 watt adapter will handle 300/120 = 2.5 amps.
The higher the wattage goes that the adapter will handle, as you can see, the higher the allowed load amperage becomes.

What is typical single phase voltage in Canada?
The standard nominal voltage in Canada for a single-phase residential supply is 240/120-V split-phase supply.
Do you need adapter for US appliances in Canada?
No, we are all on the same electrical grid. As a matter of fact most of Canada's electrical power that is produced is consumed by the US.
What is the mains voltage barbados?
Same as the US and Canada, 110 V. However it has an electrical frequency of 50 Hz, which is 60 Hz in the US and Canada.
Is 380v electricity supply available for domestic use in Canada for example for a pottery kiln?
No, 380 volts is not a domestic voltage used in Canada, in fact it is not a voltage used in Canada at all. The voltage is an European voltage. Your kiln is a resistive load so it will work on 240 volts but the rated heating load will be reduced. For a kiln application this would not be good as you need a specific heat to fire objects. The lower wattage might not get the kiln up to the higher temperatures that you need. You could use an auto transformer to bring the 240 volts up to 380 but the expense would be higher that trying to find a kiln that operates on the 240 volts that comes into your home.
Do you need a transformer to run a 575 volt machine on 480 volts?
Yes, a three phase step up transformer with a primary of 480 volts and a secondary of 600 volts would be neededThis is quite common in North America where the US industrial / commercial voltage is 480 volts and Canada is 600 volts. The sizing of the transformer would depend on the connected load of the machine.
You bought some electronics in China which requires 220v In that case can you use these devices in Canada which uses 110v without getting a voltage converter to convert from 220v to 110v.?
No.. you can't... You will actually be damaging your instrument.. It is highly recommended that you use voltage converter... I think it is not too costly
