Hello everyone,
Let me preface by admitting that I'm not a professional electrician. My apologies if I'm intruding, but I didn't know where else to go to answer this question. That being said, I'm curious to know if it's possible to modify/convert an appliance that was before only 110v/60Hz to...

I purchased some glass lighted shelves in Italy and need to install them in my home in Canada. The fixture inside is 220-240V 50Hz with a 21W fluorescent tube. Can I connect them to my 110V 60Hz? I plugged one in and it seems to work. I also purchased a 110V 60Hz fixture here in Canada but it...

The job was to install
1. a 400v tpn 8 way db (construction site enviroment)
2. feeding a TX
3. which in turn feeds a 110 v lighting circuit that is not on a plug into the front of the TX, but instead hard wired into a double pole outgoing MCB of the same TX so as to avoid unwanted...
Hi all,
I recently purchased a Chef's Choice Cone Maker 838, which is a fairly basic waffle iron. The problem is, that as it is a product from the USA its operating voltage is 120V at 60Hz and 1050 Watt (these are probably the max values). Would there be any way of converting this to the UK...

Every 110v lead i have tested including new ones have failed the earth bond test.
They all give a reading of 0.25ohm.
I have the earth clip connected to a screwdriver when testing.
I am using a smartpat 5500

another silly question, i am thinking to buy a SDS drill for thick wall, but my cordless drill is not hard enough and the battery goes flat very quickly, but i found every SDS drill has 110v and 230v two options, why not everyone buys 230v so dont need to buy the transformer?
sorry you might...
Evening all,
I bought a 110v plasterers light (basically a vapour proof 5ft florry on a tripod) for a tenner today which needs a new tube fitted.
Had a quick scout round just now on the net and can't seem to find them! does it just take a normal 5ft tube? or do I need to get a special 110v...

Hi guys,
looking to buy some 110v tools, thinking they are better than battery powered tools.
In particular want a jigsaw and a 2kg rotary hammer drill, can anyone recommend any, been looking at mikita as they always seem to get good reviews?
Thanks guys

Hi I have been asked by an American client if it is possible to install a 110v circuit in his workshop using American outlets.
Any advice on the regs (or lack of) for this and a source for a suitable transformer would be appreciated.
I guess if I knew the resistance of the Primary coil I could calculate it ? but wondered if anyone had a reference guide to current consumption when a 110V tool is not in use ?

my supplier is telling me these are not available-is this true?
i doubt it:cool:
as the test button won't be fully operational using a 230v rcd
and am i right in saying they should be 10ma on 110v fixed wiring(when fitted)-due to the lower residual currents expected at 110v
these are...
Hi all,
I'm new here but looking for some help with wiring a site transformer.
It has a 32A 3-phase supply. I can see the terminals where I wire the phases in to but I cannot see where I need to connect the neutral. The transofrmer will be dropping the voltage to 110V.
Where do I connect the...
