What else can I help you with?
What are the parts of extension wire?
There are several parts to an extension cord. There is the "female" end where you would plug in the appliance, the cord, and then the "male" end which gets plugged into an outlet.
Why would using a small kitchen appliance trip the circuit breaker for the bedrooms and not for the outlet that it is plugged into?
Kitchen outlets are rated at 20 amps and only dedicated for the kitchen. code states that there must be two 20 amp circuits supplying kitchen small appliances. bedroom outlets are fed by a 15 amp circuit most likely and that circuit is most likely feeding two rooms or so.
What happens when a 2A 220 volt appliance is plugged into a 110 volt?
Plugging a 2A 220V appliance into a 110V outlet may cause the appliance to not function properly or not turn on at all. The lower voltage can potentially damage the appliance's internal components, so it is not recommended to plug it in without a voltage converter.
240V to a standard outlet?
You cannot plug a 240V appliance directly into a standard 120V outlet as it can cause damage or be a safety hazard. You would need a dedicated 240V outlet and possibly a step-down transformer to safely use the appliance. It's recommended to consult an electrician for proper installation.
Can you insert a 160v rated plug a into a 110v outlet?
No, it is not safe to insert a 160V rated plug into a 110V outlet. The voltage difference could cause damage to the appliance or electrical system, and may pose a fire hazard. It is important to always match the voltage requirements of the device with the voltage supplied by the outlet.

Can you plug a 3 volt appliance into a 110 outlet?
No, the applied 110 volt is too high for a 3 volt appliance. The appliance would burn out right away.
What is the current in the hair dryer if it is plugged into a Outlet?
The current in a hair dryer plugged into an outlet in the US (120V) is typically around 10-12.5 Amps. In Europe (230V), it would be around 5-6 Amps.

Why does the Outlet stops working after an appliance is plugged in?
Check for a loose wire connection on the sides of the outlet that you plug into that causes the other two outlets to stop working. Are the screws tight? There will probably be two wires on each side, one will be the feed coming to that oulet and the other one will feed to the other outlets. Also a possible loose connection in the box that the outlet is mounted in, such as a loose or broken wire in a wire nut. Remember to shut off the power to this circuit while working on it. I hope this will help. Polarity on the third outlet could be reversed. It will blow the circuit. Is it possibly current drain i.e are there too many outlets and is the appliance something that uses a lot of current? This can be discovered by reading the manual. If lets say the junction box or fuse box had been replaced by a solid wire then this would allow more current to flow. If this wire(fuse replaced) is supplying the three outlets and a short circuit is in the appliance. The first answer is correct. The other two may be true statements, but they do not address this question.
What would happen if you plugged up all the volcanoes in the world?
i think the earth would implode!
Can a refrigerator and a chest freezer be on same circuit?
You would need to check the power requirements for each appliance and compare them to the capacity of the circuit. But I wouldn't recommend it.
What would happen at the outlet if you left a plugged-in extension cord lying out on the ground in the rain?
Normally nothing, as long as the insulation is intact and the other end is protected from the weather. If the cable is unprotected, it may start arcing at the bare ends. If your consumer unit is protected by a breaker, it may trip out. A fuse may blow. As long as the outlet conforms to code, nothing should happen there.
How many amps does a 60 watt fridge use?
To calculate the amperage used by a 60-watt fridge, you would divide the power (in watts) by the voltage of the outlet it’s plugged into. For example, if the fridge is plugged into a 120-volt outlet, the amperage would be 0.5 amps (60 watts / 120 volts = 0.5 amps).
