Almost every appliance has a range of use that appliance if you use between that range, you are safe, but if you use the appliance in above or less frequencies it may be harmful for you like circuit fire.

∙ 10y agoMany appliances will run at the other frequency provided the voltage is right. Appliances using many types of motor would run at 5/6 of the normal speed. A transformer designed for 60 Hz might runs somewhat warmer on 50Hz and should ideally be run on 5/6 of the voltage or at least used at 5/6 of its rated power throughput.

If it is an electric motor, the motor will rotate 20% slower in RPM than the nameplate reads for rotation speed and the current will be higher generating a hotter running motor.
If there is a timing circuit in the appliance the clock will not keep time, it will run slow.

Can you use ac dc adapter of 12 volts and 2 amps for an appliance rated for 7.5 volts and 1.8 amps?
To use an adapter of this sort, its rated voltage must match the rated voltage of the appliance, and its rated current must exceed that of the appliance. So, in your example, the rated voltage is too high to be used with your appliance.
What would be the best way to wire lights in a house in series or in a parallel give 2 advantages of the method?
1.) In series if 1 light bulb goes out they all do.2.) For each appliance to operate at its rated power, it must be subject to its rated voltage which corresponds to the value of the supply voltage. A parallel connection ensures that each branch is subject to the same (supply) voltage.
Why home winding in parallel?
For any appliance or lamp to operate at its rated power, it must be subjected to its rated voltage. Every branch of a parallel circuit is subjected to the same (supply) voltage. This is the main reason; the secondary reason is that any break in a series circuit will de-energise all the appliances connected to it!
What will happen if you connect 220v bulb in parallel to 100k ohm resistances with supply of 440 v?
This bulb is very likely to be burn out since the 440 supply voltage is very higher than it's rated voltage.
Which will do less damage between plugging a 110-volts appliance into a 220-volts circuit or plugging a 220-volts appliance into a 110-volt circuit?
You will have trouble plugging a 220 volt appliance into a 110 volt outlet because both have different polarities for the plug and receptacle that make it impossible for that action to happen.Altering the plug isn't too good of an idea, as the voltage demand of the appliance would be too heavy for the wiring.
If you have a 230 volt appliance what does that mean?
It means that, to operate at its rated power, the appliance must be provided with a 230-V supply.
What will happen to a motor if it is supplied with lower voltage than its rated voltage?
The amperage to the motor will go higher.
Can you use UK appliances in the us?
Not unless the appliance is rated to be used with the two different power supplies. The US uses 120v, 60 Hz if it plugs into a receptacle, and possibly 240v, 60Hz if it is hard wired. The UK uses 240v, 50Hz whether it plugs in or is hard wired. These two power systems are NOT compatible. You may use a US appliance in the UK, and vice versa, only if the appliance is dual rated, i.e. the appliance says 120v/60Hz AND 240v/50Hz on the nameplate. If the appliance only specifies one power supply, it can only be used on that power supply. If this is the case, you may be able to use a travel adapter to operate the appliance.
Can you use ac dc adapter of 12 volts and 2 amps for an appliance rated for 7.5 volts and 1.8 amps?
To use an adapter of this sort, its rated voltage must match the rated voltage of the appliance, and its rated current must exceed that of the appliance. So, in your example, the rated voltage is too high to be used with your appliance.
Can you use a 12 volt transformer on a 10 volt appliance?
Yes you can, as long as they have the nearly the same output voltage it doesn't really matter. It is even more important to check three other things:* that the amperage (current) drawn by the appliance is not greater than the rated output amperage shown on the transformer's label or rating plate;* that the transformer or power supply unit produces an output that is the same kind as that required by the appliance. For instance, if the appliance requires a dc (direct current) supply it will not work on a power supply unit producing only ac (alternating current);* if the power supply produces a dc output, be sure to check that the polarity ("+" and "-") of the power supply plug's inner and outer connections matches exactly what the appliance requires. If they are the wrong way round the appliance may not work or could even be damaged.If you have them, it is best to check the rating plates of both the original power supply unit and the other one you are thinking of using, as well as the appliance's user handbook, to see exactly what voltage (ac or dc) and what amperage is required.
Why aren't series circuits a convenient way way to wire a home?
Every lamp and every appliance in your home has a rated power which can only be achieved at its rated voltage. These values are shown on an appliance's nameplate or is printed on each lamp -e.g. your lamps may be rated at 100 W / 230 V. It is, therefore, essential that every appliance is subject to its rated voltage of 230 V. This can only be achieved by connecting them in parallel with the 230-V supply. (For N America, read '120 V' for '230 V')A secondary advantage is that, with a series circuit, only one appliance has to stop working, and all the other appliances would stop working too.
Explain why most homes have parallel circuits rather than series circuits?
For any electrical appliance (lamps, washing machines, etc.) to operate at their rated power, they must be subject to their rated voltage. This is why both values are shown on their 'nameplates' -e.g. for a lamp: '60 W / 230 V', etc.As each branch of a parallel circuit is subject to the same (supply) voltage, by connecting all the appliances in a home in parallel with the supply, each appliance will also be subject to their rated voltage. This is the primary reason for connecting appliances in parallel.A secondary reason is that, if appliances were to be connected in series, and one appliance stops working, then it will disconnect all the other appliances in the home!
If you know the power rating of an appliance and the voltage of the line it is attached to you can you calculate the current used by the appliance?
If I understood your question correctly, 'If you know the power rating of an appliance and the voltage of the line it is attached to, can you calculate the current used by the appliance?' You are looking for this equation: I = Current (Amps) P = Power Rating (Watts) V = Voltage (Volts) I = P/V This equation is useful when calculating the fuse rating for an appliance. For example, and appliance rated at 2400 watts, supplied with 240 volts has a 10 amp maximum. I = 2400/240 however, when it comes to paying for electricity, the energy is measured in units, which can be found using the equation: P = Power (kW) t = Time (Hours) Energy Used (Units) = Pt for example, an appliance rated at 2 kW used for 3 hours, uses 6 units of energy. Units = 2*3
Why aren't series circuts a convenient way to wire a home?
There are two reasons. Parallel circuits apply the same voltage (the supply voltage) across each branch, which ensures that every appliance in a residence shares the same voltage (their rated voltage) in order to operate at their rated power. With a series circuit, the voltage across each appliance would be less than the supply voltage, and the appliances would not be able to develop their rated power. The second reason is that, with a series circuit, if one appliances stops working, there will be a break in the circuit, so all the other appliances will stop working too!

Can you fix a 110volt appliance that was plugged in to a 240 volt outlet?
No, sorry but you fried it. Any voltage higher than an appliance is rated will do major damage.
