If you plug an electric toaster rated at 110-v into a 220-v outlet what will the outlet current in the toaster be?
It doesnt matter you will smoke it. The current in a resistive circuit is proportional to the voltage. If the voltage doubles and the resistance is the same (elements) the current will double and burn up both the elements and the toaster wiring. Look up "ohms law" for current voltage and resistance effects. Don't try it..

What is s.s.o.13amp?
"S.S.O." likely stands for "Single Socket Outlet." "13A" indicates that the outlet is rated for a maximum current of 13 amps.
Can you use a 15 amp 115 volt device in standard outlet?
The outlet is connected to and protected by a breaker or fuse in a main electric panel. The outlet should be sized to the protection. Usually utility outlets in a residence are either 15 A or 20 A. If there are multiple outlets on a circuit then the total current cannot exceed the protection value of the breaker or fuse.
How many amps and volts are in household current?
Electric current can be either direct or alternating. ... Current density can also be expressed in amperes. Depending where you live will depending on what the voltage is and the carried amps. In the U.S., a conventional 120 V outlet is rated for a maximum current of 15 A, and the upstream wiring and circuit breaker should be designed to tolerate that. In the UK: The maximum current that can be drawn from a single UK socket is 13 amps (13A) and the maximum that can be drawn from all the sockets on a single ring-main together is 32A.
How much current is drawn when an appliance rated at 795 W is plugged into a 120 V wall outlet?
To find the current drawn, use the formula: Current (I) = Power (P) / Voltage (V). Plugging in the values, I = 795 W / 120 V = 6.625 A. Therefore, the appliance draws approximately 6.625 A of current when plugged into a 120 V outlet.
Can you change the wall outlet to fit a 4 prong dryer outlet?
It's probably more difficult than you might expect. I'm assuming you have a NEMA 5-15R outlet, and you want to plug in a dryer that has a NEMA 14-30P plug at the end of its electric cable. The NEMA 5-15R outlet is by far the most common type of outlet in North America. It has two flat slots (hot and neutral), and a round safety ground hole. It is rated for 15 A and 125 V. On the other hand, most electric clothes dryers have an electric cable with a NEMA 14-30P plug on the end. It has two flat slots (2 hots from 2 different phases, each one 120 V from neutral, and each one rated at 30 A), an L slot (neutral), and a round safety plug. It is possible for an electrician to "fish" a electric cable carrying the necessary phases through the wall from the fuse box to that outlet, and then pull the old outlet and install a new outlet. If one merely did that last part -- pulled the old outlet and placed a new outlet -- without the proper electrical cables in the wall behind it, then the dryer would probably blow the fuse at the fusebox every time it was turned on.
If you plug a toaster rated at 110-v into a 220-v outlet current in the toaster will be?

Is it a fire hazard when the wall outlet that has an electric heater plugged into it is hot?
Yes and Very Possible! Bad connections cause heat so the outlet may be defectice. The outlet or the supply line may also not be rated to supply the current (amperage) required by the heater.
What is s.s.o.13amp?
"S.S.O." likely stands for "Single Socket Outlet." "13A" indicates that the outlet is rated for a maximum current of 13 amps.
What is under current relays?
A device that disconnects a circuit when ever it detects the electric current is lower than the rated current.
What are the ratings and certificates for We've Got the Toaster - 2006?
We've Got the Toaster - 2006 is rated/received certificates of: UK:15
How do you install a 120 volt 30 amp outlet. This is for a commercial cotton candy machine?
You find a space in your electric panel that will hold a 30 A breaker. You run 10 gauge wire from the electric panel to where you mount the outlet. You buy a 30 A rated outlet with a receptacle that matches the cotton candy machine. Black wire goes to the brass colored screw on the outlet, white wire to silver screw and ground wire to green screw.
How can I safely and effectively use a dryer outlet splitter for an electric vehicle?
To safely and effectively use a dryer outlet splitter for an electric vehicle, ensure that the splitter is rated for the voltage and amperage of your dryer outlet. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation and use, and do not overload the circuit by running multiple high-powered devices simultaneously. Regularly check for any signs of overheating or damage to the splitter.
Can you plug a 1600 W electric BBQ into a standard North American outlet?
Yes, but care should be taken to plug the BBQ unit into an outlet on a appliance rated circuit, 20amp min. , usually the ones serving the kitchen counter areas.
How you calculate rated current?
Rated current is typically defined for all electric devices. Either the device has a rated current, wattage or Volt x amperes (VA). Current can be computed by dividing the wattage or VA rating by 120 volts (For resistive loads). In residential situations the maximum current is governed by the protecting breaker on a circuit. If you all up all the rated currents for devices on a circuit they should be less than or equal to 80% of the protecting breaker current rating.
Inside the computer and is the part that changes the electric current into a form that the computer can use?
The power supply changes the 120v ac 60 hz (in the us and canada) to dc 12v, dc 5v, and dc 3.3 v that the computer components can use. The power supply is rated in power supplied as watts of power.
